Attendance Tracking for School Programs

Homeroom for instructors

Instructors are ready before the session starts

An hour before class begins, every instructor gets a direct link to their roster. No full Homeroom login needed. They open the link and start marking attendance.

Check in the room in seconds

Mark the whole class present at once, or check in students one by one as they arrive. Timestamps record automatically either way.

See dismissal notes and authorized contacts

Everything the instructor needs for end-of-day is right there on the attendance view. No navigating to another screen.

Edit timestamps after the fact

The attendance record is editable directly, like a spreadsheet. Instructors can correct a time, add a note, or mark a student absent after the session ends.

Full history per student

Every session builds a record showing who was present, who checked out, and who was marked absent.

Homeroom for families

Families sign students in and out at the door

Authorized parents and pickups check in and out using a unique PIN on a school kiosk, or a QR code on their own phone. The adult's name and time go straight into the attendance record — automatically.

Pin-based kiosk sign-in

Each authorized contact is assigned a unique 6-digit code automatically when the feature is enabled. They enter it on a school-provided tablet and see their students.

QR code on personal devices

Families can scan a QR code to check students in or out from their own phone, without needing to use the school kiosk.

Every sign-in shows who did it

The record captures the name of the adult, not just a timestamp. You know exactly who signed each student in and out.

Automatic code delivery

New authorized pickups receive their PIN by text automatically. Families can also view their code in their own Homeroom account.

Homeroom for admins

See every student at once, updated in real time

The attendance dashboard shows every activity running today: who is checked in, who has been checked out, and who is absent — across every program on campus, in one view.

Real-time across all programs

Every session running today is visible in one place. No need to open each program separately.

Filter by grade or program

Narrow the view to a specific grade, extended care, a single enrichment class, or any combination.

Full history for each student

Pull up any student to see a complete record showing who signed them in, who signed them out, and when, across every session.

Export for compliance or reporting

Download attendance records as a CSV or PDF from any session, current or historical. Works for individual programs or aggregated views.
