The register is one screen, not a book
The section’s whole month on one grid. A pattern of Monday absences is visible without counting anything.
An absence is marked, not shaded
The absent day carries its own marker and is named in the key, so the grid reads the same to anyone who cannot tell the colours apart.
A holiday is not an absence
Mark the section closed and the day is stored as a holiday, so the percentage is worked out on teaching days only.
The parent hears the same morning
Guardians of the absent children get a push notification in the app. Sending is a tick box, so a half-day trip does not alarm 200 families.
The problem
The register is right. It is just unreachable.
Every school marks attendance. The trouble starts the moment somebody who is not holding the register needs to know what is in it.
How it works
Four steps. The teacher does the first two.
Open your class, not a form
The teacher app lists only the sections you are class teacher for. Tap class 5-A and the roll is on screen in roll-number order.
Mark who is missing, then save
You touch the absentees, not the whole class. For a section of forty that is three or four taps on the phone the teacher already carries to school.
The parents hear about it the same morning
Tick the notify box as you save and every absent child sends a push notification to the guardian. Their phone reads: Your child is absent on August 22nd, 2026.
The month adds itself up
Present days, absent days and the percentage build as you go. Holidays are stored as holidays, so a closed Friday never counts against a child.
What you get
Everything the register did — and the parts it never could.
Attendance is marked on the phone the teacher already owns. Nothing to buy, mount, wire, service or replace when it dies in June, and no queue of children at the gate at ten to eight. For most schools that is the cheaper answer.
Be clear about the other side of it. If your school has already installed a biometric or RFID machine, Skooly will not read from it. You would be keeping two registers and someone would key the day in twice. Tell us before you commit and we will say plainly whether that trade is worth making.
Permissions
Marking, and who can change a mark.
Roles are per school and permissions are per module. A teacher only ever sees the sections she is class teacher for.
Owner / principal
Every section, every campus, any month of the session year.
Coordinator / office
Every section in the school, once you grant the attendance permission.
Class teacher
Only the sections she is class teacher for, and only students in them.
Parent
Their own child’s month, holidays already marked. Nothing to edit.
Questions
Common questions
How long does this actually take a teacher?
About a minute for a section of forty. The roll is already on screen in roll-number order, so the teacher taps the children who are not there and saves.
Do parents get a message when a child is absent?
Yes — a push notification to the guardian in the Skooly parent app, the same morning, naming the date. It is a tick box on the save screen, so you decide day by day rather than living with a rule someone set in January.
Be clear about the channel, because it matters for adoption: the alert reaches parents through the app, and the school’s other messages go out as app notifications too. A family with no app on the phone will not see it, so ask us about getting parents installed in the first week.
We already have a biometric machine at the gate. Can Skooly read it?
No. Skooly does not integrate with biometric or RFID hardware, and we will not pretend otherwise. If you keep the machine you keep two registers, and one of them will drift. Marking on the phone means there is no device to buy or maintain, nothing to replace when it fails, and no queue at the gate.
What happens on holidays and Sundays?
Mark the section closed for the day and it is stored as a holiday, not an absence, so the monthly percentage is worked out on teaching days only and nobody loses marks for Eid. The school holiday list keeps everyone on the same calendar.
Someone marked last Tuesday wrong. Can we fix it?
Yes. Choose the class-section and that date, change the marks and save — the same record updates rather than a second one appearing. Anyone who can mark the register can also correct an earlier date, and the same record updates rather than a second one appearing.
