🤒 USE CASE · ABSENCE REPORTING
Know who's coming before the day starts.
"Is Emma coming today?" shouldn't be a 6:45 AM text thread. Parents report absences in the portal; your morning starts with answers.

📱 Parents report from their portal🗓️ Today, tomorrow, or a range🔄 Auto-syncs to attendance on Pro
From "she's sick" to a complete record
6:45 AM
Parent reports the absence
Sick day, vacation, family day — parents pick the dates and reason in their portal instead of texting your personal phone before sunrise.
7:00 AM
You see it immediately
The absence appears in your app and on your dashboard's Needs Attention list. Plan the day around who's actually coming.
AUTOMATICALLY
Attendance updates itself
On Pro, the reported absence fills in the attendance record with the right status — sick, vacation — and skips days you're closed.
Common questions
How do parents report an absence? +
From their parent portal: they choose today, tomorrow, or a date range, pick a reason, and submit. You're notified in the app and on your dashboard.
Does the absence update my attendance records? +
On the Pro plan, yes — the reason maps to the right attendance status automatically and closed days are skipped. On Free, you see the report and mark attendance yourself.
Can parents report multi-day vacations? +
Yes — date ranges are supported, so a two-week vacation is one report, not ten texts.
End the 6:45 AM text triage.
Absence reporting is free for every family.
