Attendance
Daily attendance for students and staff, marked once and used everywhere: registers, reports, the teacher’s own record and the parent portal all read the same entries.
What you can do today
Class register
Pick the class, section and date, and mark each student present, absent, late, half day, on leave or excused. Changes overwrite the day’s entry rather than duplicating it.
Staff attendance
Status with check-in and check-out times for teaching and non-teaching staff, one record per person per day.
Teacher self check-in
Teachers check themselves in and out from their own workspace, with the time and network address recorded.
Registers and exports
Print or export the register for a class and period, even for a large school, without the page timing out.
Attendance reports
Attendance rate by student, class or campus over any date range, the figure every inspection asks for.
Parent view
Guardians see their child’s attendance in the parent portal.

Questions schools ask
Can teachers mark attendance from a phone?
Yes. DinoAcad runs in the phone’s browser and can be added to the home screen like an app, so the register can be marked from the classroom.
Which statuses can I use?
Present, absent, late, half day, leave and excused.
Are parents told when their child is absent?
Parents can see attendance in the portal today. Same-day absence alerts are on the Coming next list.
