Attendance Notification System

Arlene Hein Elementary School uses an automated calling system. This system sends attendance notifications in various ways.  When your child is absent from school and the absence has not been cleared, you will be called on your home and cell phones, emailed an alert, as well as texted an alert (if you have opted in). Notifications will be made at 10:30 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. to ensure that you are contacted. If you receive one of these notifications, please contact the school during regular school hours to ensure they have correct information regarding your child’s absence.
 
Text\SMS Message: 
Actual Attendance Notifications will look like this:

Email Messages: 
In addition to the regular phone calls, you will also receive email notifications letting you know that your child was absent from school. If you receive an Email, please contact your school during regular school hours to ensure they have the correct information regarding your child’s absence.

This is what the Email message will look like:
