School Attendance Management System

eSchools is a student attendance software and staff attendance management system that replaces the paper haaziri register. Teachers mark attendance with a QR code or barcode, or manually from a class list, and parents of absent students receive instant WhatsApp attendance alerts. Daily and monthly registers print or export in one click, for both students and staff.

QR and barcode attendance

Students carry a QR or barcode on their ID card, generated by the built-in ID card module. A teacher scans to mark attendance, which is faster than a roll call and leaves no room for a register being filled in later from memory.

  • QR code and barcode scanning, or manual marking from a class list
  • Separate attendance for students and for teaching and non-teaching staff
  • Shift and session aware, for schools running multiple shifts
  • Printable class registers for record keeping and inspections

Instant absence alerts to parents

When a student is marked absent, their parents are notified over WhatsApp, SMS or app push. Parents learn on the same morning rather than at the end of the month, which is both a safety measure and a strong reason for parents to value the school.

Attendance reports that hold up

Get daily, monthly and per-student attendance percentages by class, section or campus, and export to PDF or Excel. Because every mark is timestamped and attributed to the staff member who recorded it, the register is defensible when a parent disputes it.

Staff attendance and payroll

Staff attendance feeds directly into the payroll module, where lateness and absence rules are configurable, so attendance and salary deductions stay consistent without re-entering anything.
