Proxy & ghost marking
Friends answer roll call; leadership cannot prove who was actually present.
Presence you can trust — from gate scanner to parent alert
Attendance Management unifies biometric terminals, RFID cards, and teacher roll-calls into one ledger with alerts, reports, and risk signals for ScholarAI.

3 ways
to mark — biometric, RFID, or teacher UI
The problem
Why paper registers fail modern campuses
Proxy marking, delayed SMS, and unreadable registers create compliance risk and parent distrust.
Late parent notices
Absence SMS goes out hours later — or never — when staff are busy.
Device silos
Biometric clocks, RFID gates, and class apps do not share one timeline.
Weak compliance
Board and trust audits ask for period-wise reports that Excel cannot produce cleanly.
Capabilities
What this module actually does
Operational depth your team will use every cycle — not a shallow feature list.
Biometric connectors
Link fingerprint or face devices so gate timestamps sync into class attendance.
RFID & card readers
Support card taps for younger grades or campuses without biometrics.
Teacher roll-call UI
Mark period attendance from the teacher portal when devices are offline.
Absence & late alerts
Notify parents via SMS, WhatsApp, or push when a child is marked absent.
Period & day reports
Class, section, and institution views with filters for date ranges and subjects.
Leave & exception codes
Capture medical leave, field trips, and authorized exceptions without corrupting %.
Offline-tolerant sync
Devices queue punches and reconcile when connectivity returns.
Risk signals for AI
Chronic absence patterns feed ScholarAI attendance risk indices.
Operating loop
How it works end to end
A clear path your staff and parents can follow without training manuals.

Outcomes
What changes after go-live
Measurable ops wins institutions report once this module runs inside ScholarERP.
Audit-ready
period and day attendance ledgers
Faster
parent notification on unexplained absence
Fewer
proxy-marking disputes with device trails
“Fingerprint at the gate, period mark in class, SMS if missing — parents stopped calling the office every morning.”
FAQ
Questions teams ask before buying
Straight answers for setup, integrations, and day-two operations.
Which hardware does Attendance Management support?
ScholarERP connects fingerprint, face, and RFID readers through the biometric connector module. Teacher dashboard marking works without hardware.
What if the device goes offline?
Supported devices can queue punches locally and sync when the network returns. Teachers can also mark attendance from the portal.
Can parents get WhatsApp absence alerts?
Yes. Multi-channel Alerts can deliver SMS, WhatsApp, email, or push based on your institution templates.
Does attendance affect grading?
Policies can exclude quiz weight or flag eligibility based on attendance thresholds when you configure academic rules.
