The list shows today’s absence requests and submissions by default. Use the date filter at the top left to choose another date.
2. Follow up with a parent or guardian

- View: Open all requested and submitted absence notes for the student.
Calling from your own phone: Your number may be visible to the parent/guardian unless your caller ID is withheld. Check your phone settings before calling.
3. Review the student’s absence record
- Check Total Absences for the academic year.
- Review previous absences and the days of the week to help identify patterns.
Older screenshots: the “Noted By” acknowledgement section was removed from the iOS app in version 1.5.0. Do not look for those checkboxes in the current iOS version. See the app’s release notes.
