Attendance

How Absences Work

  • If your child is marked absent or tardy, you will receive a message through ParentSquare.
  • When you receive the notification, click on “Send Note to School and enter the reason for the absence—no need to use a separate form or platform.
  • Once submitted, your school’s attendance staff will receive your note and if approved, update your child’s attendance record in Infinite Campus.
  • All notes are securely logged in ParentSquare, helping schools maintain accurate records.

Other Options for Families

Families may also continue to provide a written absence note directly to the classroom teacher or school office.
