📲 Introducing ATTENDANCE PRO! Douglas Unified School District #27’s New Text-Based Attendance System

We are making it easier for families to communicate student absences with ATTENDANCE PRO, our new text-based attendance system.

Each school has been assigned a dedicated Attendance Pro phone number that parents and guardians can CALL or TEXT to report a student absence.

⚠️ IMPORTANT ATTENDANCE REMINDER! To ensure your student’s absence is properly excused, parents/guardians should call or text the school’s assigned Attendance Pro number PRIOR TO or ON THE DAY OF THE ABSENCE.

Reporting absences promptly helps our schools maintain accurate attendance records and strengthens communication between school and home.

📱 CALL OR TEXT — IT’S THAT EASY!
No app is required. Simply use your school’s assigned Attendance Pro number to communicate attendance information.

Visit your school’s website or contact your school's office, for its assigned Attendance Pro phone number and additional attendance information.

Thank you!
