A reliable daily routine
Teachers record attendance for their assigned classes. Choose the day or morning and afternoon session, then record present, absent, late or excused status. Late minutes add context when a learner arrives after the session starts. Duplicate records for the same student, date and session are rejected so that a second submission does not inflate the register.
Correct the register with care
An absent mark may need correction after a late arrival or a verified school activity. Staff update the existing record with a reason. Conflicting edits are detected, and a future date cannot be marked as completed attendance. The correction history supports office review without overwriting the fact that an earlier decision was made.
Give families the right view
A parent sees records only for a student whose guardian relationship is linked and confirmed. A student sees their own information. Attendance reports support class-level follow-up while preserving the same access boundaries as the register. Decide locally who follows up absence and what support a learner may need; attendance statistics alone should not determine disciplinary or educational decisions.
