SchoolPass - Attendance

St. Louise has implemented a new Attendance and Visitor/Management system. You’ll receive an email with directions on how to set up your family’s account and download the app where you’ll be able to:

Check your child in if you are tardy
Check your child in or out for an appointment
Check in and out for volunteering
Notify us of absences, appointments, etc.

NEW THIS YEAR - If you are running late and will be tardy, parents need to bring their child to the office to get checked in. Please do not drop them off to enter on their own – they must be accompanied by their parent.

If your child will be absent, please notify the office by email, phone call or by using the new SchoolPass app.
