Attend

Intervene to
Stop Chronic Absenteeism

Attendance is the first sign that a student is falling behind. SchoolStatus helps you respond quickly. Automated messages alert families the minute absences start to pile up. Predictive analytics helps your team get to the root of the problem while there’s still time to change the outcome.

Calculate Your District’s
Attendance Impact

To better understand the positive effect higher attendance rates would have on your district,
we’ve created a calculator to estimate SchoolStatus Attend’s influence on three key areas:
student attendance, educator time, and state funding.

Measure Your Attendance Impact

Annual ADA funding per pupil in dollars.
Number of students enrolled district-wide.
Number of campuses in district.
Your current district-wide attendance rate.
Filling out the Attendance Impact Calculator is simple: 
  1. Choose your district’s state, district enrollment, and number of campuses
  2. If you are in an ADA state, we will automatically add your state’s funding.
  3. Obtain your district’s estimate for enhanced attendance, saved educator time, and increased state funding (if applicable).

*The Attendance Impact Calculator serves as an estimate only. Contact SchoolStatus for a more detailed overview of potential results.

FAQs

Does SchoolStatus Attend integrate with SIS providers?

Yes! We integrate with multiple SIS providers to bring in student records and determine when students are eligible for an intervention. We can show you how the SIS integration works in a personalized demo.

Does SchoolStatus Attend allow me to communicate with families digitally?

Yes! In addition to automated digital interventions, you can send two-way text messages in more than 130 languages. Messages sent from Attend allow you to communicate with families digitally and get to the “why” behind absences.

Does SchoolStatus Attend allow me to see campus-level data?

Absolutely, you can see attendance data for a specific school. This view allows you to compare data school-to-school to spot outliers and take the right action. 

 

How does the multi-modal intervention approach work?

We know that reaching families about absences can be tough. So, we’ve created a system that reaches families in multiple ways. Generally, the first intervention a student qualifies for is sent via physical mail and digitally. Subsequent interventions are sent digitally. This approach ensures your message about the importance of attendance is reinforced in multiple places.

Does SchoolStatus Attend give me data about the effectiveness of interventions?

Yes! You can see how effective interventions are at bringing students back to school. You’ll also meet with our team regularly to hear best practices and go through your district’s data.

Can SchoolStatus Attend help me improve the quality of my digital data?

Yes, we can. Our reports show when interventions aren’t reaching families, so you can reach out to get an updated phone number or email address.

Does SchoolStatus Attend support time-based attendance tracking?

Yes, SchoolStatus Attend supports time-based attendance tracking, meaning districts in states like Ohio and Oregon can meet state mandates with confidence. During the implementation process, we work with your district to determine the appropriate thresholds for your attendance interventions. For example, we can send an intervention when students miss ten hours of school and again when they reach 30 hours of missed learning time (or any other configuration that makes sense to meet state and district requirements).

Some schools in my district use block schedules. Can SchoolStatus Attend support that?

Yes. We can help you better track attendance with block schedules. We’ll go over all of the unique schedules across school sites during the implementation process to ensure SchoolStatus is set up perfectly to match all of the needs in your district.

How does SchoolStatus help my team celebrate families?

Research shows that families want to hear from schools when their child is doing well, not just when they’re struggling. Improving attendance is about more than reaching out when students are trending toward chronic absenteeism. So, we automate digital messages that go out to families with excellent attendance, those in the midst of an attendance turnaround, and those with students in critical transition years. In 2026, we’ll also offer an integration with Smore, our beloved newsletter builder, that enables staff and teachers to send supportive notes whenever they’d like. Educators can choose to send a positive note to celebrate a student who’s eliminated their tardies, for example.
