Attendance

The attendance system supports daily registers, absence requests, and multiple statuses with role-based workflows.

Teacher view

Teachers mark attendance for each class period.

How to take attendance:

1. Navigate to Attendance from the sidebar
2. Select the class and date
3. Mark each student's status

Parents see their child's attendance record and can submit absence requests.

How to submit an absence request:

1. Go to Attendance from the sidebar
2. Click "Submit absence request"
3. Select the date(s) and provide a reason
4. Submit for review

Teachers or admins review and approve/reject the request. Parents see the updated status in real-time.

Stats and reports

The attendance system tracks:

• At-risk flags — students with consistently low attendance appear in the Analytics dashboard
