What This Service Delivers
Attendance is the first daily indicator of a student's regularity, the first thing a parent asks about, and the first thing a school is held accountable for. ViewClass's Attendance Management records it in the moment, makes it visible to those concerned, and analyzes it in reports that reveal patterns before they become problems.
What you get:
- Three recording levels: daily attendance, period attendance, and lateness tracking — from one screen with three tabs.
- Fast recording: select grade, class, and date, then set each student's status (present – absent – late) or apply one status to all students with "Select All".
- From the teacher in class: the class management screen combines period attendance recording (present – absent – late) with positive and negative behavior recording, with today's date fixed and the time slot taken from the teacher's timetable.
- Automatic recording when enabled: through integration with biometric devices for daily attendance, and automatically for remote lessons.
- Multiple absence types: days, periods, subjects — excused and unexcused.
- Detailed reports: for students and parents (days, period absences, term summary, per-subject summary), and for leadership at class, grade, and school level.
- Parent notification of absence or lateness by SMS when enabled, and automatically with biometrics.
- Status shown in the student's timetable.
How It Works in ViewClass
- The school sets its policy: daily recording, per period, or both; manual or automatic through biometrics; and whether absence and lateness notifications are sent automatically.
- Attendance is recorded: by the teacher from class management, by administration from the attendance screen, or automatically by the biometric device.
- Followed up and addressed: the notification reaches the parent, who submits an excuse if there is one; the lateness tab surfaces recurring cases for action; and reports are read at every level.
What Your School Gains
- A parent who knows in time. An absence notification in the morning — not a call in the evening — protects the student and the family's trust in the school.
- Tamper-resistant recording. Today's date is fixed in the teacher's screen, so there is no retroactive or advance recording.
- Lateness patterns exposed. The lateness tab shows who is late repeatedly, so the counselor intervenes before lateness turns into absence.
- Reports ready for supervisory bodies. Excused and unexcused attendance rates per subject, class, and stage are one click away.
