Overview
This article explains how to send a text message (SMS) and / or Email to the appropriate named contact(s) of all pupils absent from school without authorisation (those with unauthorised absences).
Prerequisites
- First Day calling must be set up for your school (for more information, see MIS: How do I set up First Day calling?)
- You must have access to the Manage / Attendance / Unauthorised window in Juniper MIS.
- All registers must have been taken for the session before contacting parents.
Instructions
- Within Juniper MIS, select Manage.
- Select Attendance.
- Select Unauthorised:
- Check each pupil whose contact you want to send your first day calling message to. Alternatively, you can check the checkbox next to the Pupil Name column header to check all pupils:
- Select Contact Parents.
Outcome
A text message (SMS) and / or Email is sent to the appropriate contact(s) for each of the checked pupils. It will notify them of the unauthorised absence. The specific contact type(s) chosen and the template used when configuring First Day calling will determine who receives the message and what it contains.
