Maquoketa Families,
We believe we have corrected the attendance call issues. The calls will resume at 3:30 today if your student had an unknown absence today. If you believe it's not accurate contact your student's building administrator. Thank You again for your patience .
Maquoketa Families,
We transitioned to our new announcement system yesterday that sends our attendance calls. This system was pulling data as far back as October which is why some families received an attendance call. These calls were most likely not referring to your student's attendance yesterday but an absence from earlier in the year. We have been working with the company to correct this and only pull data from the current day. We have turned off calls for this morning and hope to have this turned back on later today or tomorrow. Thank You for your patience as we transition to this new system.
