Parents can be given the option to report absences to school. Absences can be either historic (past) or planned (future).

When a parent reports an absence, they must choose a start and end date for the absence, as well as a reason for the absences. When a user submits a reason for a pupil's absence, an email address will be sent to one or more nominated members of staff. This facility does not update the attendance data in SIMS.

There are various settings that can be used to configure this page. The attendance preferences allow you to hide the report absences page for students in certain year groups. The email section of preferences#email|preferences]] contains a field where you can enter the recipients of the message that is sent when parents report an absence.

The users' role options can be used to decide what reasons absence can be selected, and the maximum number of days that users have available to report an absence after it has happened.
