Teacher Responsibility
While principals can view all attendance records, the actual marking of attendance is done by class teachers. Teachers mark attendance daily for their assigned classes, and the data appears in your dashboard in real-time.
Teacher Attendance Duties
- • Class teachers mark attendance at the beginning of each school day
- • Teachers can update attendance status throughout the day if needed
- • Late arrivals are recorded with the time of arrival
- • Excused absences require a reason/note
