Questions, answered

Straightforward answers for visitors evaluating the product.

Does attendance follow the school calendar?+

Daily homeroom attendance uses configured working days, so holidays and non-working dates are not treated like ordinary registers.

Set the academic calendar before enabling dependent workflows, then test one holiday and one working-day exception against the resulting attendance or exam view. Keep the school’s local policy as the authority for edge cases.

Can schools import attendance in bulk?+

Bulk CSV import supports large cohorts and migration from legacy registers while reports continue to use the student attendance history.

Set the academic calendar before enabling dependent workflows, then test one holiday and one working-day exception against the resulting attendance or exam view. Keep the school’s local policy as the authority for edge cases.

Can parents receive absence alerts?+

Parent absence alerts can be delivered through notifications, and families can review the linked student’s attendance history in the portal.

Test the guardian link and publication boundary with a sample family before inviting the wider parent community. Confirm that each linked child exposes only the records the school intends.

Who usually marks attendance?+

Class teachers work from the daily homeroom marking screen, while office teams use reports and analytics to review attendance patterns.

Set the academic calendar before enabling dependent workflows, then test one holiday and one working-day exception against the resulting attendance or exam view. Keep the school’s local policy as the authority for edge cases.
