Without seeing your paperwork it is impossible to answer your question.
You should plan to be at any hearings unless you have a lawyer (and you should have one). If you have a lawyer, he will tell you if he needs you at a hearing.
You should be at your hearing. Although everything has been agreed upon, the judge may have questions. Moreover, if does not appear that you have an attorney. Therefore, someone has to be there to protect your interest.
