Dear Fayette County Families,
We are excited to announce the launch of Attendance Pro, a new communication tool designed to make tracking and reporting student attendance easier and more efficient for our families. This will begin on Monday, August 31, 2026.
What You Need to Know:
School-Specific Phone Numbers: Each school now has a dedicated, unique phone number used exclusively for attendance text alerts and automated updates. Please check your school’s website or social media page for your school’s designated number.
Text-Only Communication: You can notify the school of upcoming absences in advance by sending a text to your school’s unique number. Please note: This number is automated and cannot receive incoming voice calls.
Easy Note & Excuse Submission: When you receive an attendance notification, simply tap the secure link provided in the message or email. From there, you can:
Submit a written explanation/parent note directly from your phone.
Upload photo attachments or digital copies of doctor/medical excuses.
Send a message directly to your school’s attendance team.
WV State Policy Reminder: In accordance with West Virginia State Code, all absence excuses (parent notes or medical excuses) must be submitted within 3 school days of your student’s return to school.
Please ensure your child’s school has your most up-to-date cell phone number and email address on file so you receive these important notifications without delay.
Thank you for your continued partnership in supporting your child’s education and regular school attendance.
Sincerely,
Fayette County Schools
