How to mark child attendance

What it's for

Marking attendance records who's at your center each day. It keeps your classroom ratios accurate, gives you a clear count of who's present, and creates a record you can report on later.

Where to find it

Attendance → Student

Step-by-step

1. Go to Attendance (Student). The page shows today's date — use the arrows to move

to a different day.

1. Find the child in the list. Each child starts as Not Arrived.
2. When they arrive, click Check In. Set the check-in time, record their

temperature and any wellness screening flags (fever, cough, rash and so on), choose who dropped them off, and add notes if needed.

1. When they leave, click Check Out.
2. If a child won't be in, click Absent, or Apply Leave to log a planned

absence.

Tips & limits

• Use the classroom filter and search to find children quickly in a busy list.
• The stat cards (Checked In, Checked Out, Absent, Not Arrived) and the **Check-In

Rate** give you an at-a-glance picture of the day.

• Families can also check their child in themselves at the check-in kiosk — that's

set up in Settings.
