Taking attendance

  1. Open the class from Classes and go to its Attendance section.
  2. Pick the session date.
  3. Mark each enrolled student as Present, Absent, Late, or Excused.
  4. Save.
If you mark a student Absent, a notification goes out automatically — to the student in the app, and to their parent on WhatsApp, at the contact number recorded on the student’s record. You don’t need to do anything else to notify anyone.
The parent doesn’t need an account — the message goes to the WhatsApp number stored with the student. If that number is missing or wrong, the notification won’t arrive; fix it on the student’s record.
Attendance you record here rolls up into that student’s Attendance tab on their profile (see Grading & Tracking Progress), so patterns like “3 absences this month” are easy to spot without recalculating anything yourself.

Logging a behavior note

  1. From the class, from a student’s profile, or from Behavior in the sidebar, add a new behavior note.
  2. Choose the type — Positive, Negative, or Neutral — and a severity from Minor up to Severe.
  3. Write what happened, and optionally what action you took.
  4. Mark whether the parent should be notified, and whether it needs follow-up.
Behavior notes build up in the student’s Behavior tab over time, so a pattern (repeated lateness to class, consistently helpful with classmates, etc.) is visible at a glance rather than buried in individual incidents.
