Quick and easy attendance marking for your classes.

Before you start

For Teachers

  • Sign in with your own teacher account.
  • Check that the correct class and session are assigned to you.

Open your register

Open Attendance, select the date and find your class or teaching session. Confirm the period before marking.

Check the roster

Make sure the listed students match the class you are teaching. Raise missing or unexpected students with the school office.

Mark attendance

Record Present, Absent, Late or Excused for each student. When using a bulk present action, check all exceptions before saving.

Add a concise note

Record a relevant reason or arrival detail where appropriate. Follow school privacy guidance and do not include unnecessary medical or personal details.

Save and review

Save the register and check confirmation and totals. If a correction is needed later and you cannot edit it, contact the attendance administrator. Saving is separate from sending an absence alert.

Good practice

  • Use the mobile browser when taking attendance away from your desk.
  • Never treat a preselected Present status as a completed check.
  • Follow the school’s absence escalation process for urgent concerns.
