📝 How do I submit an attendance note?

You can submit an absence note directly through the app when your child is absent, late or leaving early.

📲 How to submit a note

Option 1: From an absence notification

If you did not submit the note in advance, you will receive an absence notification.

1. Open the notification
2. Select:
   • Absent or Late
   • Select "Please Check" if you believe your student is in school
3. Enter a short note explaining the reason
4. Tap Submit

Option 2: Submitting a note in advance

1. Open the app
2. Go to the Attendance section on the sidebar
3. Select the relevant student if you have more than 1
4. Choose Absent, Late or Permission to Leave
5. Choose the date (and time if necessary)
6. Enter your reason and further details
7. Add your signature
8. Tap Submit

✏️ What should I include?

Your note should briefly explain:

• The reason for the absence, lateness or permission to leave early
• Any relevant details (if required by the school)

👉 Keep it short and clear

⚠️ Important

• Notes should be submitted as soon as possible
• If you receive a notification, you must respond directly from that
• You cannot add a note via the "Attendance" section if you received an absent notification
• Submitting a note helps the school update attendance correctly

❓ Do I need to submit a note every time?

Yes — if your child is absent or late, you should provide a note in advance or when prompted.
