Most attendance tools tell you who is absent after it’s already happened.
SchoolStatus Attend takes a different approach. For more than 20 years, SchoolStatus has partnered with districts to identify attendance patterns early and help educators connect with families before small issues become chronic problems.
PowerSchool Attendance Intervention helps districts track attendance and send alerts.
SchoolStatus Attend goes further by helping teams identify students trending toward chronic absenteeism and supporting early outreach that builds trust with families.
Instead of reacting after absences pile up, districts can act early and focus their efforts where they matter most.

Many attendance systems focus on students who are already chronically absent.
SchoolStatus Attend uses predictive analytics and attendance trends to highlight students heading in that direction, giving educators time to intervene sooner. For example, identifying a group of students with emerging patterns of absences early in the semester so staff can reach out before those patterns become harder to reverse.
Knowing which students need support only helps if your team can act on it quickly. SchoolStatus brings student insights and communication into one place, so staff can go from identifying a concern to reaching out in minutes.
For example, a school leader can see a group of students trending toward chronic absenteeism and send targeted messages to families the same day, all without switching systems.
Strong attendance is built over time through regular communication. SchoolStatus helps your team stay connected with families throughout the year and not just when there’s a problem.
Send automated messages that recognize improvement, follow up after absences, or keep families informed during important moments. Two-way messaging makes it easy for families to respond, ask questions, and stay involved.
Attendance work often lives across spreadsheets, reports, and separate communication tools. SchoolStatus brings it all together so your team can manage outreach, track progress, and follow up without extra steps.
Instead of spending time pulling lists or coordinating across systems, staff can focus on supporting students and families directly.
