Student Attendance¶

Overview¶

Track daily student attendance (present, absent, late, leave) at class or lecture level. Data feeds reports, parent notifications, and the Attendance Dashboard.

Who can use it¶

Role	Access
Teacher	Mark attendance for assigned classes
Class teacher / Admin	All classes, corrections
Student / Parent	View only (student portal)

Before you start¶

[ ] Students enrolled in class/division for the academic year
[ ] Teacher allocation to class (for faculty users)
[ ] Attendance date within working calendar

Mark daily attendance (classCommon workflow)¶

Open Daily Activities → Student Attendance (exact menu label may vary).
Select Date, Academic Year, Class, and Division.
Mark each student Present (P), Absent (A), Late (L), or Leave as supported.
Use Mark all present shortcuts if available, then adjust exceptions.
Save before leaving the screen.

Leave management¶

Open Leave Management (staff or student leave as applicable).
Record approved leave with from/to dates and reason.
Approved leave should reflect automatically on attendance reports.

Lecture-wise attendance¶

For period-wise tracking:

Select Lecture / Period in addition to class.
Mark absentees for that subject period only.
Save per lecture session.

Reports¶

Report	Purpose
Daily absentee list	Same-day follow-up
Monthly summary	Class teacher review
Student attendance %	Report cards, promotion decisions
Late coming	Discipline tracking

Notifications¶

Schools may enable SMS/app alerts when a student is marked absent. Configure templates under Communication or Alert Settings in the Attendance Dashboard.

Tips¶

Mark attendance before sending absent alerts to avoid false messages.
Use holiday or no school flags in calendar masters so off-days are not counted as absences.
Teachers should only see their classes when faculty login is used.

Troubleshooting¶

Class list empty — Wrong year, no enrollment, or teacher not allocated to class.

Cannot edit past date — School may lock historical attendance; request admin override.
