One-tap class attendance
Present, absent or on leave for the whole class on one screen, saved in one go from the teacher’s phone.
Attendance & leave
Attendance marked in seconds, and parents know straight away
Class teachers mark attendance from their phone with one tap per student. Parents of an absent child get an instant alert, and the principal sees which classes are still pending. Staff mark their own attendance, and leave for students and staff is requested and approved in the app.

Staff attendance
Staff mark themselves present in the app, with a reminder if they forget. The office can correct any day.

Biometric and QR attendance
Mark attendance from biometric devices or by scanning the QR code on a student’s ID card, alongside marking in the app.

Are parents alerted when their child is absent?

How is staff attendance recorded?
