School attendance app that tells parents when their child arrives

Teachers mark the register on a phone or tablet in seconds. Parents get a message when their child is checked in and when they are collected, and the school office sees who is missing before the first lesson ends.

Roll call in seconds, even without data

Mark a whole class present with one tap and change only the exceptions. A roll taken offline is kept on the phone and sent when the connection returns.

  • ✓ Present, absent, late and excused
  • ✓ Works on any phone or tablet
  • ✓ Closed days and holidays come from the school calendar

Parents told at check-in and check-out

When a child is checked in, their parents get a notification with the time. At check-out they learn who collected the child.

  • ✓ Push notifications, email and SMS
  • ✓ Each parent chooses what they receive
  • ✓ Who may collect a child is set per guardian

Absences followed up for you

Children who are missing are flagged to the office and their parents, and repeated absences show up in the attendance reports.

  • ✓ Live attendance board for the whole school
  • ✓ Reports by class, student and term
  • ✓ Export to Excel or CSV

Questions schools ask

Does attendance work without internet?
Yes. Teachers can take the roll offline; it is saved on the device and sent automatically when the phone is back online.
How are parents notified?
Parents receive a push notification in the School Universe app, and the school can also send email or SMS. Each parent chooses which notices they get.
Can we see attendance across the whole school?
Yes. The live attendance board shows every class at once, and the reports break attendance down by class, student and term.
