What is attendance tracking and why does it matter?
Efficient attendance tracking is more than just a roll call — it’s the foundation of school accountability, student performance monitoring, and legal compliance. Yet for many K–12 and small higher-ed institutions, managing attendance still means juggling paper records or error-prone spreadsheets. Or, round-tripping among different, non-synchronized pieces of software, at best.
For school founders and administrators, a streamlined attendance solution isn’t a luxury — it’s a must-have.
DreamClass answers this need with robust attendance tracking software that brings clarity, automation, and insight into every class.
How does DreamClass simplify class attendance?
With DreamClass, teachers and admins can rest assured that their attendance data is created and stored once and is readily and instantly available to admins as soon as the teacher takes attendance. So, here’s what teachers and admins can do:
- Mark attendance in real-time, from any device
- View historical data for each student
- Filter by class, subject, or teacher
- Customize statuses (e.g., Present, Absent, Late, Excused)
- Automatically notify parents of absences via SMS or email
This intuitive approach eliminates manual entry errors and ensures your school has accurate attendance reports at all times.
