Managing attendance-related communication can be a complex and time-consuming task for many schools, especially when dealing with chronically absent students or those on the brink of truancy. Home notification letters are an essential tool to improve attendance, but tracking and managing this process in PowerSchool can often be cumbersome.

The Logical Attendance Tracker is a powerful PowerSchool plugin designed to streamline this process, enabling you to manage attendance letters directly within PowerSchool from a single, user-friendly interface. This plugin transforms what was once a tedious task into a highly efficient, accurate, and consistent process that can be completed in just minutes.

Key Features Include:

• District-Level Rules: Customize attendance thresholds and letter rules at the district level, allowing for consistent and scalable management across multiple schools.
• Parent Notification via Portal: Automatically notify parents through the PowerSchool Parent Portal when their child reaches specific attendance thresholds.
• Track Parent Access: Monitor and track parent access of attendance letters through the portal, ensuring clear communication and accountability.
• Customizable Letters: Easily create and customize notification letters using an intuitive WYSIWYG editor—no coding required. Alternatively, continue using your pre-existing letter templates.
• Automated Tracking: Identify students meeting letter thresholds and track which letters have been sent. A running log of all letters issued, along with key details about the student’s absences, is maintained.
• Flexible Rule Sets: Create multiple letter rule sets for each school, based on total absences, attendance percentages, or consecutive absences.
• Time Frame Customization: Define time frames for attendance tracking, including year, semester, custom date ranges, or rolling periods.
• At-Risk Credit Identification: Automatically flag students at risk of losing credit and track the status of the appeal process.
