Meet Sherpa, your 24/7 AI Attendance Officer

Every Absence has a Story

Today, 40% of absences go unexcused without reason. District staff are consistently overwhelmed by these absences, rarely investigating each of them until it's too late.

Sherpa's Attendance Officers were born to pursue these investigations.

How Sherpa Works

Sherpa has a conversation with every family in the district. We supercharge family engagement with no additional time spent.

Texts that families reply to

Compared to Robocalls and Automated messages, families engage with Sherpa's attendance texts 3 times as often.

Uncover Hidden Causes of Absence

Sherpa asks guardians follow-up questions in real-time, deeply understanding the hurdles their child is facing.

Automatically Loop In School Staff

If Sherpa picks up on an urgent case of absenteeism, we email first responders at school sites immediately.
