ParentSquare: For Families

Parents and guardians can now use a form in ParentSquare to report a future, same-day, or past absence and/or to submit documentation for a future, same-day, or past absence.

How To: 

1. Log into ParentSquare.
    
2. Locate the form using one of these two methods:
   • Direct Link: Click this link to go straight to the form: Report an Absence or Submit Documentation
   • Side Menus: From the homepage, click “Forms/Permissions” on the left or right side and open the "Report a Student Absence or Provide Absence Documentation" form. 
3.  Once you locate the form, click “Complete Form” and follow the on-screen instructions

Please note: This form may need to be completed multiple times in one day for the same absence. 
For example: Your child has an appointment with a physician at 11:00 a.m. You fill out the form before the appointment to inform your child's school that your child will be absent. Following that appointment, you return to the form to complete it a second time to upload documentation from your child's physician. 

Examples of documentation could include medical return-to-school notes, college visit verification notes, etc.
 

If you do not notify the school within the first hour that your child will be absent, you will receive an automated absence notification via ParentSquare. Upon receipt, you can reply: 

1. To submit a response, you must use the ParentSquare app or the link provided in the text or email that notified you about your child's absence.  

2. Click "Send Note to School."

3. Enter the reason for the absence and click "Submit." The note will be sent immediately to the school's attendance office.

If you receive a notification and believe your child is at school, which could occasionally occur due to a technical error, please contact your child's school directly via phone.
