Add Attendance

Add Attendance lets you take daily student attendance for a specific class section. Select a class, pick a date, and mark each student as Present or Absent. You can also mark the entire day as a Holiday or send push notifications to guardians of absent students.

Attendance hierarchy

Class Section → Date → Student → Present / Absent — First select the class section, then the date. The system loads all enrolled students for you to mark their attendance.

Feature gate

The Attendance Management feature must be enabled in your school's subscription for the "Attendance" menu to appear. Contact your School Admin or Super Admin if you don't see it in the sidebar.

Overview

The Add Attendance page provides a form with a class section selector and date picker at the top, followed by a student table with Present/Absent radio buttons for each student.

Take Daily Attendance

1

Navigate to Attendance

From the sidebar, click **Attendance**. The Add Attendance page opens by default with an empty student list.

2

Select a Class Section

Use the **Class Section** dropdown to pick the class you want to take attendance for (e.g., "Génie Électrique M1 — Bilingue"). Teachers will see only their assigned class sections.

3

Select the Date

Click the **Date** picker and choose the attendance date. The date cannot be in the future — only today or earlier dates are allowed.

4

Review the Student List

After selecting both a class section and a date, the student table loads automatically. Each row shows the student admission number, roll number, name, and **Present/Absent** radio buttons.

5

Mark each student

Click **Present** or **Absent** for each student. By default, if existing attendance data was already saved for the selected date, the saved values are pre-filled.

6

Submit

Click **Submit** to save the attendance. If you return to the same class section and date, the saved attendance is reloaded for editing.

Form Fields

Field	Type	Required	Description
Class Section	Select	Required	The class section to take attendance for. Teachers see only their assigned sections; admins see all class sections.
Date	Date picker	Required	The date for the attendance entry. Cannot be set to a future date.
Holiday	Checkbox	Optional	When checked, marks the entire day as a Holiday for all students in the class section. The student table is hidden.
Absent Notification	Checkbox	Optional	When checked, a push notification is sent to the guardian of each student marked as Absent.
Type (per student)	Radio button	Required	Mark each student as Present or Absent using the radio buttons in the Type column.

Mark a Holiday

If the selected date is a holiday, you can mark the entire class section at once:

1

Select class section and date

Choose the class section and the holiday date as usual.

2

Check the Holiday checkbox

The **Holiday** checkbox appears once both class section and date are selected. Check it to mark the day as a Holiday.

3

Confirm

A confirmation dialog appears. Click **Yes** to confirm. The student table disappears since individual marking is not needed.

4

Submit

Click **Submit**. All students in the class section receive a Holiday attendance type for that date.

Holiday overrides individual marks

Marking a day as Holiday overwrites any previously saved Present/Absent marks for that date and class section. To undo a Holiday, uncheck the Holiday checkbox and re-save.

---

Absent Notification

When the "Send a notification to the guardian if the student is absent" checkbox is checked before submitting:

• A push notification is sent to the guardian of each student marked as Absent
• The notification is delivered through the Stunov+ Student/Parent mobile app
• Only guardians with the app installed and logged in will receive the notification

Best practice

Check this option when taking the morning attendance so parents are immediately informed of their child's absence.

---

Edit Attendance

Attendance can be edited by returning to the same class section and date:

1

Select the same class section and date

Navigate to the Add Attendance page and select the class section and date for the attendance you want to edit.

2

Review pre-filled data

The system detects existing attendance for that date and pre-fills the Present/Absent radio buttons with the saved values.

3

Make changes

Toggle any student between Present and Absent as needed.

4

Submit

Click **Submit** to overwrite the attendance for that date.
