2.3 How To Submit Your Student's Attendance (Texas)

To demonstrate your student’s active participation in the OpenEd program, they’ll be asked to submit a daily attendance response through our platform.

Submitting daily attendance: 

• Ensures that your child is meeting Texas public school requirements
• Helps their teacher know when extra support might be needed

How to Submit Attendance

Submit By Text

Every morning, you'll receive a text message asking if your students participated in the program today.

You just have to reply Yes or No.

If your student made progress on their education plan, reply Yes. If they had to miss a day of instruction for any reason, reply No.

If you reply “No,” you’ll also be able to submit a reason for the absence. That way, your student will have an excused absence recorded in our system.

If you haven’t submitted an attendance response by 4 PM, we’ll send you another nudge by text.

Submit Through Your Platform

You can also submit attendance through your OpenEd platform. 

Under the Learning section of the platform, select Attendance. 

Here's what you'll see: 

How Attendance Affects Enrollment
