School ERP Modules

Conducting attendance without an attendance software not only consumes unnecessary time but reduces the efficiency of the teacher & the flow of the lecture. As the calculation goes a teacher spends over 2000 minutes only in marking attendance manually!

School Attendance Management System

Here are some of the methods through which attendance can be conducted in Centralized School Management Software (CSMS).

1. RFID Attendance/Biometric Software – Card/Thumb Impression Based

• UHF (Ultra High Frequency): UHF portals have to be installed at the school’s common entrance. Students have to pass through the common entrance to get attendance marked. RFID ID cards are issued to students. The RFID Antenna reads the RFID cards, marks the arrival and departure time of students; at the same time attendance is reported to parents via SMS or E-mail or both.
• LF Technology: In LF technology, the biometric readers are installed in each classroom or multiple readers are installed at various common locations of the school. The student has to hover the ID card or put a thumb on the reader, on arrival to school and before leaving school. Reader registers the card/thumb impression and attendance gets marked. Teachers can correct the attendance of students.
• Biometric Machines: Thumbprint recognizing, wifi enabled Biometric Machines with 360-degree thumb capture, these devices require an active internet connection and can be passed across the classroom. Mobile biometric attendance systems for schools can also be installed outside classrooms & activity rooms for marking attendance. Attendance gets captured in the student attendance management system, and a notification is sent to parents via the mobile application.

2. Manual Attendance

A manual attendance management system registers the attendance of students by feeding it on the software. Manual attendance ensures that the;

• Updates: The faculty receives updates of absent roll numbers’ data on a day-to-day basis on the attendance server. SMS or e-mail is sent to parents updating them about student presence or absence.
• Monthly Summary Reports: The monthly summary of attendance can be sent to parents or otherwise be uploaded on the institute’s website.

The school attendance system not only makes attendance marking accessible across servers but also keeps attendance data organized and easily retrievable.

3. Mobile App Based Attendance

Every class teacher/subject teacher gets an individual login, the number of times attendance can be marked is configurable at administration. Teachers from their respective logins can get a list of students & can mark students present/absent, post attendance a notification is sent to parents regarding the Status.

• LMS Integration: The automatic attendance system is integrated with the Learning Management System, this enables teachers to upload lecture notes/assignments/blackboard images while taking attendance. Consuming not only less time but improving academic delivery & easing parental involvement in day-to-day classroom activities.
• Leave Application: Students can also apply for leave through the school mobile app. And everytime a student or parent applies for their ward’s leave, the teacher immediately gets notified and thus, can manage the leave information on a single platform.
• Attendance Reports: With the mobile attendance app, the teachers can generate highly accurate student attendance reports- day-wise/week-wise/month-wise/year-wise within a few clicks.
