Use this page every school day to record who is present, late, absent or on leave. The page opens on the class you worked on last, for today.

What you see on this page

  • Class: pick the class and section. Teachers only see the classes they teach.
  • Date: pick the day. Today is the default.
  • Mark all present: sets every student to Present in one tap.
  • A summary strip: On roll, then Present, Late, Absent and Leave counts, a state label (for example "3 unmarked", "Not saved yet" or "All marked") and a bar showing the class split. Grey in the bar means not marked yet.
  • One row per student with a photo, name, roll number and four buttons: Present, Late, Absent, Leave. The ring around the photo takes the colour of the status.
  • Save register at the bottom, with a note such as "2 absent · 1 late" so you can check before saving.

Take today's register

  1. Open Attendance → Mark attendance.
  2. Check the Class and Date at the top.
  3. A register nobody has saved yet starts with everyone Present. Tap Late, Absent or Leave only for the students who need it.
  4. Look at the note beside Save register to confirm the counts.
  5. Select Save register. A message tells you how many students were saved.

Correct an earlier register

  1. Pick the earlier Date.
  2. Change the students whose status was wrong.
  3. Select Save register. The old marks for that day are replaced by the new ones.

Who can do what

  • Teachers and school admins can mark. A teacher can only save registers for classes they teach.
  • Anyone who can open the page but cannot mark sees the statuses as read-only labels, with no buttons and no Save register.

Common questions

The page says No classes yet.

Attendance is taken per class. A school admin must set up classes first. Teachers need to be assigned to a class.

The page says No students enrolled in this class for the current year.

Pick another class, or enrol students in this class first.

Why can I not mark a Saturday?

Only the working days chosen in Attendance rules can have a register. Ask a school admin to change them if your school works that day.
