SchoolStatus Attend

What SchoolStatus Attend is

SchoolStatus Attend is a web-based attendance management product for K–12 districts working to identify and address chronic absenteeism. It tracks attendance by time, period, or full day and shows year-over-year changes in absences. When absences begin to accumulate, automated interventions can be sent. Early Warning Insights identifies students likely to become chronically absent after 60 days of school.

Attend connects with multiple student information system providers to import student records and determine intervention eligibility. Named integrations include Infinite Campus and PowerSchool. Districts can reach families with automated letters, emailed interventions, two-way messages in more than 130 languages, and conference scheduling. Daily Attendance Notifications text families when a student is marked absent and collect replies in a centralized dashboard. SchoolStatus describes a 4–6 week implementation process covering SIS integration, attendance thresholds, and outreach workflows. A dedicated Customer Success Manager meets regularly with districts, reviews attendance data, recommends improvements, and provides team training. SchoolStatus was founded in 2012 and is headquartered in Ridgeland, Mississippi; it says it partners with K–12 districts in all 50 states and serves thousands of districts. The company states that it participates in SOC 2 Type II auditing and reporting, is certified by 1EdTech and iKeepSafe, and complies with FERPA and COPPA.
