Reporting an Absence Just Got Easier in ParentSquare!

Student writing on paper

We’re excited to share a new, easier way for families to report student absences through ParentSquare!

With the latest ParentSquare app update, the Attendance button is now conveniently located on the app’s home screen, making it easier than ever to let your child’s school know when they will be absent.

Families can also report absences through ParentSquare on a desktop computer.

Using the ParentSquare App?

Simply open the ParentSquare app and select Attendance from the home screen.

Using ParentSquare on a Computer?

Log in to ParentSquare and select Attendance from the left navigation menu under Communicate.

Why We’re Excited About This

  • Easy to find: The Attendance button is front and center.
  • Convenient: Report an absence using the same app families already use for school communication.
  • One place: No need to search for a separate form or system.
  • Accessible: ParentSquare offers built-in translation and supports communication across multiple languages and devices.

We think this new option will make reporting an absence quicker and easier for Hilliard families!

If you haven’t already, make sure you have the ParentSquare app on your phone so you can take advantage of this feature.
