Attendance Letters

Hi, I'm John. 

Consistent attendance is a gold star on the journey to academic achievement. 

You can do your part to keep parents informed with automatic Attendance Letters in Skyward. 

Let's see how that works. 

Head to Student Management, Office, Attendance Letters, and Setup. 

Pick codes and make sure you have the right threshold as an option. 

Also, spend some time customizing your Attendance Letter so it looks sharp and includes all the right info. 

Now, you'll need to set your letter parameters. 

Head to Student Management, Office, and find Schedule Letters in the Attendance Letters area. 

Review your scheduling parameters first. 

Click Edit and make sure the Task Information and scheduling frequency are correct. 

Next, let's set your letter parameters. 

Choose the type of attendance event that will trigger a letter, the term and term dates, and which families should receive a printed letter. 

We encourage districts to post Attendance Letters to Family Access and to make use of any other options for alerting families. 

Click "View Letters" to see a History of previously generated letters. 

Help parents make their kids' attendance a top priority. 

Work smarter with Attendance Letters from Skyward.
