OK, I’ll publish a new post with the absence form in ParentSquare at 3pm today.
I’ll update the “Digital Absentee Form” button on the MCA website to lead to the ParentSquare form and then close out the SelectSurvey version of the form.
Thank you,

If you don’t mind creating it – I would love that!
I don’t want to mess anything up.
Also, if we publish it tomorrow – I can just share the link to say it will be effective Monday?
I just don’t want our computer operators having to check two places.

Also – we are ready to start the parentsquare attendance on Monday – is that possible?
That’s excellent! We can create the post with the form attached whenever you like and schedule it to publish on Friday / Monday.
Attached is the guidebook showing how to create the post. If you’d like me create the post for you, I don’t mind.
The guide shows how to get the link to the post after its published, but if you want to get the link in advance to send to your teachers, you can actually copy it out of the address bar of your browser while the post is still in draft.
The link to the post will be what you see in the address bar, without the word “edit” included. In the example screenshot below, the link to the post (once it’s published) will be https://www.parentsquare.com/feeds/59556724/

I want to send the link out to parents and to have teachers send with their newsletters this weekend.
