School Absence Tracker
A simple, private way to track absences, tardies, and doctor notes for every child — no matter which school they attend.
- Works with any school — keep your own organized record.
- Per-child totals by school year (excused, unexcused, tardies).
- Attach doctor or clinic notes to dates for proof.
- Household sharing for spouses/guardians.
- Export a clean summary PRO · coming soon and calendar view PRO · roadmap.
Why this beats district portals or DIY spreadsheets
| Feature | School Absence Tracker | District Apps/Portals | DIY (Notes/Sheets/Calendar) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Works no matter your school | ✓ Always — your family’s log | ✕ Only if your district pays & enables it | ✓ Yes, but manual setup |
| All kids in one place | ✓ Unified across schools & moves | ~ Per-district portal; multiple logins | ~ Possible, but scattered |
| Per-school-year totals | ✓ Excused / Unexcused / Tardy counters | ~ Depends on district settings | ✕ Manual formulas or none |
| Attach doctor notes | ✓ Store & find by date | ~ Sometimes allowed on forms | ✕ Files live elsewhere |
| Export a clean summary | ✓ One tap (PRO · coming soon) | ~ Rarely offered | ~ Custom work each time |
| Holiday / non-instruction days | ✓ Mark so they don’t count (calendar view PRO · roadmap) | ~ Typically not parent-controlled | ✕ Easy to miscount |
| Privacy & control | ✓ Your data — share only when needed | ~ Inside district systems | ~ Depends where you store it |
How it works
- Add your kids. Create your household and add each child. Choose your school-year start (e.g., July 1) so totals align.
- Log absences & tardies. Add the reason; attach a doctor/clinic note when you have one.
- Share with your spouse/guardian. The household owner invites them; you both can add absences and see the same history.
- Upgrade anytime. Open Settings → Manage Plan to unlock higher limits and new features.
- Export per kid. Create a clean summary when the school asks PRO · coming soon.

FAQ
Do I still need to notify the school?
Yes. This app is your personal record to stay organized. Use it to complete whatever method your school requires (portal, note, email, or call) and to keep proof handy.
Does this replace my district app?
No. It complements any district tools you have by giving you a consistent family-wide history and documentation in one place.
What about privacy?
Your records live in your account. You decide what to share and when. We don’t sell your data.
