Elizabeth Lalor, Deputy Superintendent for Educational Support & School AdministrationAs an administrator, I want to make sure that if a kid's not there, I want my teachers to call the families before we get a whole administrative intervention and counselors involved. And if all of your communication comes through SchoolStatus, which it does in my district, I can see it all—it’s all right there.Chad Shealy

I also like that the student's contacts are readily available. This platform works well for families to contact us, too.

FAQs
How does SchoolStatus support district leaders?
SchoolStatus gives district leaders the tools to support educators and ensure student success through a suite of solutions that span attendance, family engagement, data and insights, and educator effectiveness.
- SchoolStatus brings fragmented data sources together to help you reduce chronic absenteeism, engage the right families, link literacy progress to other trends, and address issues with real-time data visibility.
- SchoolStatus Attend uses data, predictive analytics, and attendance intervention strategies to show districts which students need the most support early enough to make a difference.
- SchoolStatus Connect helps districts replace one-size-fits-all communication with timely, targeted messaging families actually care about. Using centralized student data, SchoolStatus Connect empowers educators to send relevant messages early to the right families.
Does SchoolStatus Attend integrate with SIS providers?
Yes! We integrate with all 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 see site-level data?
Absolutely, you can see attendance data for a specific school, grade, classroom, any day of the week. This flexibility enables you to compare identify patterns and spot outliers so you can take targeted action.
How can I segment and view my district’s data?
SchoolStatus can bring in academic, behavior, assessment, and attendance data from multiple sources. Once data comes into the platform, it can be sliced in different ways. This means that administrators can understand attendance at a specific school site, at a specific grade level across the district, or for a specific student. Data can also be connected to illuminate students who need additional support. For example, the At-Risk dashboard in SchoolStatus Connect shows students who may need additional support based on three factors: low attendance, D or F letter grades, and behavior infractions. The data available in our solutions is intended to help educators at all levels make decisions and better communicate with families.
Does SchoolStatus Connect have a parent communication app?
Yes, SchoolStatus Connect includes a mobile app for parents and guardians on iPhones and Androids.
How does SchoolStatus Attend make attendance data actionable?
SchoolStatus Attend integrates seamlessly with your SIS to turn raw attendance data into clear, actionable insights so you can:
- Understand why students are missing school by identifying patterns and underlying concerns
- Spot school-level trends to see which campuses need extra support
- Track attendance across different sites, grades, and periods to catch issues early
- Measure the impact of interventions to see which tactics are most successful in bringing students back to class
- Identify students at risk of becoming chronically absent in the first 60 days of school so you can act before habits become entrenched
