When you receive an absence notification, you should respond as soon as possible to confirm your child’s attendance.
📝 Step 1: Open the notification
- Tap the notification
- This will bring you into the app where you can respond
✅ Step 2: Choose the correct option
You will be asked to select one of the following:
- Absent – your child is not in school
- Late – your child arrived late
- Please Check – you are unsure and want the school to review
✏️ Step 3: Add a note (if required)
- Provide a short explanation for the absence or lateness
- Add a comment on the Please Check (if you are selecting this option)
- Submit your response
⏱️ Step 4: Submit promptly
👉 Responding quickly helps the school:
- Keep attendance records accurate
- Avoid follow-up messages or reminders
⚠️ Important
- If your child is in school but marked absent, select Please Check
- If your child is absent or late, select the correct option and provide a reason
- Do not ignore the notification — it may remain outstanding and you will get reminders
❓ What happens next?
- The school receives your response
- Your students attendance record is updated
- No further action is needed unless contacted by the school
