Attendance+ starts where the record starts. Daily attendance syncs from PowerSchool, Infinite Campus, or a CSV feed over automated SFTP, and an Aeries connector is rolling out. On the family side, a parent reports an absence from the app and the office confirms it from a queue, so the reason is on file before the auto-dialer would have called. Same-day absence notices go out on the district's own schedule, in the family's language.
Built-in state rule packs (including California, Texas, Washington, and New York) ship with the product; CA, TX and WA are coded to statute and NY ships a default ladder for the district to adjust. Packs ship marked unreviewed, and the app tells you to verify with your counsel before relying on them. Every night Attendance+ detects who crossed a step and drafts the letter. Staff approve one at a time or in a batch. Portal and email deliver immediately; print and certified mail go through a vendor integration with delivery tracking once a district sets it up and loads addresses. Every letter, case, and outreach exports as an audit-ready package.
Every night the notice ladder checks who crossed a step in your state's rule pack and drafts the letter. Staff approve singly or in a batch; portal and email go now, print and certified mail go to a vendor with tracking, and a mailed letter waits for a certified translation. Click to approve.
By default, a mailed letter carrying an uncertified machine translation is held until a human certifies it. Attendance+ drafts the translation by machine, a human reviews and certifies it, and the certified copy is what goes to print. Digital delivery may use a clearly labelled machine draft so the family hears today; the mailed copy waits for certification. Languages default to your district's top guardian languages, and a certified translation is reused every time the same step fires.
A machine draft moves to human review, then certification, before it can be queued for mail. Digital delivery can use an uncertified draft, clearly labeled; mail cannot, until it's certified.
When a family texts back sick, appointment, transportation, or something else, the reply correlates to the exact notice it answers and lands inside the Thrive record next to the risk score. A quick-reply reason auto-excuses the day when it should. A reply that discloses a housing, safety, or health-crisis need opens a case and pages a counselor. And the numbers live where administrators already look: an absence-rate heatmap with a per-student breakdown, an ADA funding estimate for planning, and a period-by-period report, all sections of the Dashboards Attendance lens. Guardians see their own child only.
A guardian's SMS reply correlates to the exact outreach it answers, not just the most recent thread, and a reason auto-applies to the open absence. Try both tabs.
