SchoolStatus Launches Literacy Solution to Help Districts Engage Families in Improving Reading Outcomes
Read More >
Attendance is the first sign that a student is falling behind. SchoolStatus helps you act before it’s too late. SchoolStatus Attend sends automated messages to alert families the minute absences start to pile up. Use predictive analytics to connect with families and resolve the barriers to absenteeism while there’s still time.

When we took away the clerical piece of attendance interventions, principals became more connected to students and families. They started to recognize the real-life barriers to attendance. Now, they’re connected to people and not paper.

Corsicana ISD reduced chronic absenteeism by 25% in their first year with SchoolStatus Attend. Learn How
Don’t wait until absenteeism is chronic. SchoolStatus Attend sends an automated intervention when the first few absences occur. Using proven strategies honed over 20 years, just one of our interventions improves attendance by 34%.
Once a student is chronically absent, it’s usually too late to change the outcome. Early Warning Insights uses predictive analytics to show who’s likely to become chronically absent after just 60 days. So you can use these insights to reach out, build trust, and find solutions.

Uncover the “why” behind absenteeism by removing the logistical burden of attendance conferences. SchoolStatus identifies the right families and simplifies scheduling and documentation. Focus on the one-on-one conversations that reveal the true barriers to attendance.

Attendance improves when students and families know their presence matters. SchoolStatus sends automated digital or print messages to both families with excellent attendance and those who are improving. When you recognize the wins, you can change districtwide culture.

Research consistently shows that students who miss school fall behind in reading progress. Simultaneously, students who struggle to read miss more school. Break the cycle by ensuring every family understands their child’s literacy level and how they can help.
Regular attendance predicts better grades, higher graduation rates, and better literacy scores. In ADA states, higher attendance also means more state funding. Use the calculator below to estimate the impact of bringing SchoolStatus Attend to your district.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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).
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.
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.
