Attendance
How Absences Work
- If your child is marked absent or tardy, you will receive a message through ParentSquare.
- When you receive the notification, click on “Send Note to School and enter the reason for the absence—no need to use a separate form or platform.
- Once submitted, your school’s attendance staff will receive your note and if approved, update your child’s attendance record in Infinite Campus.
- All notes are securely logged in ParentSquare, helping schools maintain accurate records.
Other Options for Families
Families may also continue to provide a written absence note directly to the classroom teacher or school office.

Attendance Notification Process – Hopewell High School
Regular school attendance is essential to your child’s academic success. We understand that there may be times when an absence is unavoidable. In those cases, we’ve made it simple for families to notify us of the reason for the absence so it can be properly recorded as excused or unexcused.
How to Report an Absence:
Parents or guardians should report a student’s absence by either:
- Sending a written note with the student to school, or
- Sending an email from the parent or guardian’s email address on file with the school.
