Attendance & Absences
Attendance notices
Starting Wednesday, December 11th, Commerce ISD will activate the automatic Attendance Notices feature in ParentSquare. This feature streamlines the process of notifying the school about your student's absence.
How It Works:
ParentSquare pulls attendance data from Skyward and sends you a notification if your student is marked absent. This notification allows you to quickly and conveniently submit an attendance note.
