Manage Absences
This guide explains how to view and acknowledge absence notifications from parents.
Open Absences
Click on Child Notifications in the sidebar menu. A badge shows the number of unacknowledged notifications.

The absence page has four tabs:
| Tab | Content |

| Coming Soon | Upcoming absences (within 1-3 weeks) |
| Hidden | Already acknowledged/read notifications |
| Archive | Past absences |
You can set the timeframe for "Coming Soon" to 1, 2, or 3 weeks.
