What is Automated Student Attendance Management System?

Student Attendance Management System

Due to the demanding world of today, teachers need Ed-Tech tools which will help them manage precious class time efficiently. Manually taking attendance and registering it in files & muster makes the process mundane for faculty members and inefficiently wastes classroom time. To overcome these ineffective work processes SchoolOnApp with its robust and end-to-end attendance management system overcomes the traditional practices of maintaining files.

The system allows users to have real-time tracking of both students, faculty, and staff that captures students’ time and activities in classes or periods. Triggers are sent to professors during times when they forget their attendance records in class as well as a report card for each student who has an activity history which is easily integrable into other systems like school ERP software etc.

With SchoolOnApp’s student attendance management system you get an overall view of the engagement of students and teachers across the school campus and other educational institutions with ease making it easier for you to manage your institutes' needs.

Types of the student attendance management system for schools?

There are various types of student attendance management systems that can be integrated with the various Management Software making school management software more effective and useful.

SchoolOnApp provides the following highly efficient automated student attendance management system.

RFID Scanner - Each student is given an RFID-equipped smart card with a unique number on it. The RFID scanner can be installed at the entrance of the school, classroom, library, or any other important location (basically anywhere you want to attend). Students carrying their smart cards simply have to pass through the reader and the reader scans their smart cards number and marks their attendance. The system works because every student has a unique number on them, meaning only they will work with this specific card reader. Since the card readers can read multiple cards at once, many students could go in at once and then have themselves registered by simply going through it. This means that schools get access to every student's attendance almost instantly as soon as latecomers enter class. This automated scanner can easily be integrated with the school ERP software and can automate your student attendance management system.

Biometric Scanner - Another important and widely used automated student attendance management system is the Biometric Attendance management system for schools and other educational institutions that can be used with a simple device that covers less space and can be placed at the main entrance. The biometric system, integrated with an educational ERP, captures the fingerprints of students in real-time as they enter the institution. The students only need to place their fingers on the system’s scanner and upon verification, with the original fingerprint data input by concerned authorities, it is marked as attendance for the day. Since a biometric system works on fingerprints that are unique to every individual, there are fewer chances that this attendance management system can be compromised by someone trying to game the system.

Mobile-app based attendance - Teachers can mark attendance in just a matter of seconds with an effective student attendance management system app. Parents can submit leave applications to their kids directly from the student-management app. Students can be placed on "leave" status, which means that they don’t have to worry about forgetting to put one student or another on leave when marking student absences. This makes things easier for teachers and ensures security for students.
