Take class attendance
Mark each child in your class present, absent, late or excused for the day, and save the register.
Attendance is for the class teacher of a class. Take the register at the start of the school day. It takes about a minute.
Take the register
-
Click Attendance in the menu. Your class and today's date are shown at the top.
-
For each child, choose one:
| Choice | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Present | The child is at school. |
| Absent | The child is not at school. |
| Late | The child arrived after the start. |
| Excused | The child is away with a reason the school accepts. |
- Type a note in Remarks if you want to explain (for example "Fever" or "Doctor").
- Click Save attendance. You see "Attendance saved".
A faster way: click All present first, then change only the children who are not present. Then save.
What happens after you save
- Absent children can trigger a message to their parents the same day, if your school has switched on the "Child marked absent" notification.
- Parents see their child's attendance in the parent portal.
- The office and the head teacher see class attendance in their reports and on the dashboard.
Another day
To fill in a day you missed, change the date at the top, then mark and save. You can also correct a saved day by choosing it, changing what is wrong, and saving again. Attendance cannot be marked for a day that has not come yet.
If the date is a holiday or the school is closed, you see a notice that the school is closed. It is a warning and not a block: you can still mark the day if children came.
If something goes wrong
| What you see | What it means and what to do |
|---|---|
| Attendance is missing from the menu | You are not the class teacher of a class this year, or the school has switched it off. Ask the office. |
| A child is missing from the list | They are not enrolled in your class for this year, or their status is not Active. Tell the office. |
| A notice that the school is closed | The calendar marks that day as closed. Check the date, or continue if children came. |
| You marked the wrong child | Change their choice and click Save attendance again. |
