ParentSquare Attendance Notes
Using the ParentSquare App, parents are able to enter notes to excuse or communicate to the school about a child's absence. Think of this as a phone call the parent makes to let you know why their child wasn't at school that day.
Schools can set up WHO receives these notifications (likely the attendance secretary) from within ParentSquare. If a parent places a note on an absence, this/these school staff will receive both a notice in their email and can also view the message from within ParentSquare.
The attendance secretary should update Synergy, as needed. Just as they do with a phone call or voicemail from the parent.
To see the attendance note on a student that was made by the parent:
- Login to ParentSquare using Login with Google.
- Select "Add Ons" from the top menu
- Select "Attendance Notices" from the vertical menu on the left, then click on the paper icon under the Note column to view the parent's note regarding the absence.
