EZ Attendance

One of the biggest drains for school office productivity is the daily attempt to reach parents of students with unexcused absences. Attendance is also a financial drain because school funding in many states is based on Average Daily Attendance (ADA), Reducing unexcused absences can dramatically impact school funding, increase achievement scores and free up office personnel, which saves resources. EZ Attendance automates the entire parent notification process saving your staff hours each days, ensures accurate reporting and increased attendance and works better than the old method at getting parents to respond.

How it Works: Simply configure the EZ Attendance module to load your daily unexcused file from where it resides on the school network. From there, EZ Attendance takes over and at the appointed time, calls parents and delivers a recorded message from the school office containing their student's name and the period/date missed.

The Results. One SchoolReach client recently reduced their unexcused absentee rate by more than 50% and recovered hours and hours of staff time once spent dialing for parents. Click on the above Case Study link to learn more. Unexcused Absentee Chart

New! EZ Attendance PLUS with Interactive Parent Response
EZ Attendance PLUS offers interactivity with parents, allowing them to leave a reply immediately following the delivered notice. Just like leaving a message on the school answering machine, parents can leave a verbal excuse or reason for their student's absence. As soon as the recording is made it is forwarded to the attendance secretary's e-mail inbox. This process frees up school phone lines, makes it easier for the school secretary to retrieve messages and creates an audio file of the recording for future use.
