Student Attendance

Attendance that marks itself — and tells parents the moment it happens

Whether your school uses QR scanning, RFID cards, or biometric devices, attendance is captured instantly, synced across every dashboard, and parents get notified the same moment a student is marked absent.

Connect existing biometric devices or RFID gate systems directly into the same attendance records.

GPS-verified attendance

Location-based checks confirm attendance was marked from campus, not remotely.
