The problem it solves

Every afternoon you or a teacher has to check who was absent, look up parent contact info, and send alerts one by one. Patterns like a student missing class several days in a row are easy to miss when you're doing it manually, and by the time you notice, the problem has grown.

Who it fits

School administrators or teachers tracking daily student attendance.

How it works

  1. Runs automatically each weekday afternoon
  2. Reads the day's attendance and identifies absences
  3. Matches absent students with parent contact details
  4. Emails each parent a color-coded absence alert
  5. Builds a dashboard showing daily, weekly, and at-risk trends
What you get

Absent students whose parents already know

Daily attendance gets recorded, parents of absent students get an email automatically, and trends show up on a dashboard for you to review.

What you get

A parent alert email for each absence and a dashboard tracking attendance trends and at-risk students.

What you need

Access to your student attendance and contact records plus an email account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
