Attendance

Teachers do. Administrators see attendance read-only, for checking and reports. The setting Attendance Marking Type in Settings → School Profile → Attendance decides which teacher:

• Once Per Day: the class's head teacher marks the whole day.
• Per Period: each subject teacher marks their period.

The same settings section sets how many minutes after school start a student counts as Late.

1. Go to Attendance → Student Attendance and pick your class.
2. Everyone starts as present. Change the absent, late or on-leave students. Mark All Present / Mark All Absent do the whole class.
3. Tick Notify Parents to send absence alerts to parents.
4. Press Save Attendance.

You can change attendance after saving. Keyboard shortcuts make it quicker: P = present, A = absent, L = late, V = leave, arrow keys to move, Ctrl+Enter to save. Press Shortcuts to see them all. Attendance can be marked offline and syncs later.

From the Staff Check-in / Out card on the dashboard (staff can add it to their dashboard if it isn't there). The device's location is recorded with each check-in and check-out, so it should be done at school with location turned on.

Attendance → Staff Attendance (admins). Filter by employee and dates to see each check-in and check-out time, with Open in Google Maps for the location. Teacher-wise history is also on each employee's Attendance tab.

Reports → Attendance Reports (also reached from Detailed Reports on the attendance page). Student attendance by class (present, absent, late, percentage) and a daily staff register, with export.
