Mark attendance

Mark your class present or absent with a quick checkbox register, and backfill a past day if needed.

Marking attendance is quick: everyone starts present, and you uncheck anyone who's absent.

Steps

  1. On your Dashboard, find your section and tap Update Now (or the "{present}/{total} Present" count to edit).
  2. Check the Attendance Date at the top — it defaults to today. "Selected students will be marked present."
  3. Every student starts checked = present. Uncheck anyone who is absent.
  4. Tap Submit (or Go Back to cancel).

Tip: Use the All Students / Students on leave filter to see who has a leave request; students on leave show an "(On leave)" tag.

Edit a past day

  1. Open the register and change the Attendance Date to the day you want — you'll see "Editing a past day."
  2. Adjust the checkboxes and tap Submit.

What if it doesn't work?

  • It won't let you mark a day. That date may be a non-working day (weekend, holiday, or vacation) — "Attendance isn't marked on non-working days." Pick a working day.
  • You can't go back far enough. You can backfill within the current academic year, not before it starts.
  • A child is missing from the register. They may not be enrolled in this section yet — see Review admission requests.
