If a person notifies me an advance of them being absent for a particular class, it is unnecessery and actually unhelpful, to be sending them "we missed you" emails. I would love to have an opportunity to send absence emails only to those who have missed without a notice.
This would be amazing! Parents stop reading emails if they get too many. I'm afraid they will miss vital information.
Please please please fix this! It makes our parents feel like there's no point in presubmitting absences
Yes, please fix this. We have responsible parents that inform us of absences but then we receive a bunch of annoyed emails when they receive the automated absence email asking if we are getting their messages/notes.
This is absolutely a bug. Logged absences should turn off the email to parents whose child was absent.
100% agree with this idea - just today I had a parent email us as she'd entered her child's absences but received the "we missed you" email. Even though we put an extra line in to say "please disregard if you've already entered an absence" it just looks silly that we've sent them this. Thank you
