Barbour County School District

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Effective immediately, our attendance system will automatically notify you by phone whenever your child is marked absent from school. These calls are designed to keep you informed and ensure that every student is accounted for each day.

Please make sure your contact information is up to date in PowerSchool so you can receive these important alerts.

📞 What to Expect:
If your child is absent, you will receive a phone call from our system notifying you of the absence. If you believe the absence was recorded in error, please contact the school office as soon as possible.

Disclaimer:
In the event of technical difficulties with PowerSchool, attendance calls may not be made. We appreciate your understanding and encourage you to reach out directly if you have concerns about your child’s attendance.
Thank you for your continued support!
