Questions

Student attendance management system FAQs

A student attendance management system records who attended each lesson, flags absences to the office and keeps attendance on each student record. In ours, teachers mark registers on a tablet or phone and parents see attendance in the portal.

Teachers mark the register on any phone, tablet or laptop with a web browser, using the class list drawn from enrolment. Lessons held on Zoom or Google Meet are marked in the same register.

Parents request a make-up in the portal and choose from classes that still have a free seat. The office approves the request, and the make-up lesson appears on that class register for the teacher to mark.

A spreadsheet works for one class, but registers, absence alerts, make-up classes and parent access need a shared system. Your existing attendance history can be imported, so past records stay on each student.

Absences show in the parent portal as soon as the register is marked. Messages by email, SMS or WhatsApp can be added, either sent automatically or drafted for staff to check first.

Each branch takes its own registers, and head office sees attendance rates for every branch, class and teacher on one dashboard. Branch managers see only their own centre.

AI features can be added in their own phase: alerts for runs of absences, answers to attendance questions from your own records, and drafted messages to parents, all checked by staff.

Attendance is a module of our School Management System, drawing class lists from enrolment and feeding performance tracking and the parent portal. Schools usually start with it, alongside enrolment and classes.

Our solutions are eligible for government grants. We explain how the schemes apply to your project and what the agency looks for, so you can budget with the full picture in front of you.
