Illinois is focused on K-12 attendance & family engagement.
We’re here to help!
Illinois is tackling record-high absenteeism with new laws and a statewide task force. SchoolStatus equips districts with the data, communication, and automation tools they need to meet the moment.
Automate Outreach to Families
1105 ILCS 5/26-7 requires that you send letters when students miss school. SchoolStatus helps you meet this requirement without adding work for your staff. We integrate with your SIS to quickly identify students who need intervention letters, then deliver them automatically.
Get to the “Why” Behind Absenteeism
105 ILCS 5/22-92 requires districts to identify why students miss school. With SchoolStatus, you can see that data at a glance and then take action. Reach out to families with two-way messages or schedule conferences to find solutions that get students back in class.
Make Smart Attendance Decisions with Data
See the story behind your attendance data.
Explore trends by campus, spot when absences peak, and identify students at risk of chronic absenteeism after the first 60 days of school. With these insights, you can act early and make a meaningful impact.
Notify Families in Real-Time
The Illinois State Board of Education recommends notifying families within two hours of a student missing their first class. SchoolStatus Connect makes it easy to send timely, personalized messages about attendance, academic progress, behavior, and assessments.

Reach Every Family with Messages That Matter
ISBE’s new Family & Community Engagement Framework calls on districts to make every effort to connect with families. SchoolStatus solutions automatically translate your messages into 130+ languages so you can keep everyone in the loop.
