Spending hours sorting out attendance mid-Omicron? School-links can help

Updated: Jun 20, 2022



School-links has been making attendance management easier for over a decade.


Are you finding that parents are forgetting to notify the school that students are isolating? Result: your office staff are having to spend hours tracking down the unexplained absences. Even worse, your administrators are sick too, and you are ending up on the phone!


School-links Early Notification (EN) System is the solution.


Step 1: Your Attendance Officer simply selects the students with an unexplained absence in your student management system (edge or KAMAR).


Step 2: your student management system (SMS) assembles a file with student names and caregiver contact details and sends it to the School-links system which distributes the EN messages via text and email. No more time wasted on the phone tracking down parents.


Step 3: Parents can quickly text a response to the alert. Text is ubiquitous, cost effective and less embarrassing then explaining over the phone that they forgot to notify the school.


Step 4: Alerts and responses are automatically recorded in your SMS. Your Attendance Officer opens the report, codes the absences, and the job is done – in a matter of minutes.


“It is a fantastic service. It saves us from having to ring everybody – it is completely automated,” - Tony Sears, Waiheke Deputy Principal, High School


The contact data in edge and KAMAR syncs automatically with School-links daily. You seriously just click a button!
