Student Attendance
Attendance is marked once a day for each class. Start with Mark all present, change the few absentees, and save. Parents of students newly marked absent get an SMS when the school has SMS alerts on. The Dashboard shows which classes are still unmarked, the parent portal shows each child's attendance, and the Attendance Register gives the month grid for printing. Teachers mark only the classes assigned to them.
Mark today's attendance (example: Class Nursery, Wednesday 28 Oct 2026)
The Dashboard showed Class Nursery and Class III as not marked yet. Clicking the Class Nursery chip there opens the same page.
In the sidebar open Daily Operations and click Attendance.
Pick a class to start. Pick the class in Select Class: Class Nursery. The date is today; change it only to mark or correct another day.
The yellow box says Not saved yet — nothing is recorded for this class today.
Unmarked students have a yellow edge. Click Mark all present. Every student turns green P.
Change the absentees: click A for Om Gupta (absent) and L for Kiara Kumar (on leave).
P = Present, A = Absent, L = Leave. The This month column shows each child's P and A so far. Check the counts at the bottom: Present 19, Absent 1, Leave 1, Not marked 0. Unsaved changes reminds you to save.
The counts bar stays at the bottom of the screen. Click Save attendance, then Save attendance again in the popup.
Saving asks once for confirmation. The message Attendance saved for 28 Oct 2026 appears and the green box shows Saved, the time and who marked it.
Saved by Satyajeet Kr. Singh.
TipTo correct a mark later, open the same class and date, change the mark and click Save attendance again. The x button next to a mark clears it.
TipOn a Sunday or a holiday from the Holiday Calendar the page shows a notice; days marked H are holidays.
TipAn absent SMS goes only to students newly marked absent, so saving twice does not send a second SMS.

Questions
A parent applied for leave in the portal. Do I still mark L?
Yes. Leave applications are decided in Daily Operations › Leave Approvals; the attendance mark for each day is still made here.
The Dashboard still shows a class as not marked.
The class is counted as marked only after Save attendance. Open the class and check for the green Saved box.
Can I mark attendance from a phone?
Yes. On a phone the list shows one student per row with large P / A / L buttons, and the Save bar stays at the bottom.
