School attendance marked in minutes, by a teacher or at the gate
Teachers mark a whole class in one go. Or attendance arrives automatically from face recognition kiosks and biometric machines. Students, teachers, staff, and drivers are all covered.
Included in Orbit at no extra cost, along with every other module.
What changes when Attendance moves into Orbit
- Paper registers have to be totalled by hand at the end of every month.
- Staff attendance lives on a separate machine nobody reconciles with payroll.
- Corrections are made with whitener, and nobody knows who changed what.
- Less register work. There are no monthly totals to add up by hand.
- Fewer manual punches. Face and biometric devices record staff and students automatically.
- An audit trail. Every correction goes through a request and an approval.
A Monday morning with two ways in
Students who walk past the face recognition kiosk at the gate are marked as they arrive. In the first period, the class teacher opens the class on her phone, checks the few who weren't captured, and marks the rest as absent, late, or excused.
On Thursday a parent points out that a student was marked absent by mistake. The teacher raises a correction request, the admin approves it, and the record shows who changed what and when.
What the Attendance module does
Mark a class in one go
Open a class and section for the day and mark each student present, absent, late, or excused.
Face recognition kiosks
Kiosk check-ins post attendance for students, teachers, staff, and drivers. Repeated punches don't create duplicates.
Biometric devices
Attendance machines can send punches straight into Orbit.
Correction requests
Mistakes are fixed through a request that an admin approves or rejects, so there is a trail.
Workforce attendance
Track teachers, staff, and drivers alongside students.
