Take attendance

Mark students present, late or absent with one tap per student, right from your phone.

Calendar and attendance2 min read

Attendance takes a few seconds per class. Each tap saves on its own, so there's no save button to forget.

Open the attendance sheet#

You can get there a few ways:

Teachers: open My classes in the menu and choose Take attendance on the class. Owners and admins who teach find My classes under Calendar.
From Calendar: choose the class, then Take attendance.
From a class page: on the Overview tab, under Upcoming sessions, choose the date.

Mark each student#

Each student has three buttons:

Button	Means
P	Present
L	Late
A	Absent

Tap the one that fits. To change a mark, just tap a different button.

The bar at the top keeps count, for example "12 of 14 here, 2 to mark". It stays on screen as you scroll.

Mark everyone present at once#

Choose All present to mark the whole class present in one tap. If you've already marked a few students, the button says Rest present and only marks the students you haven't marked yet.

Tip: For a big class, tap the few absent or late students first, then choose Rest present.

Who's on the sheet#

The sheet lists everyone expected in that session. Some students have a label under their name:

Trial: a student trying the class.
Make-up: a student making up a missed class.
Drop-in: a student who paid for just this class.
Family reported an absence: the parent already told the studio this student will be away.

Saving#

Next to the count you'll see Saving… and then Saved. If your connection drops, you'll see Not saved and a Retry button. Your taps are kept, so choose Retry once you're back online.

If a student was withdrawn from the class while you had the sheet open, FrontRow refreshes the sheet and tells you that mark wasn't saved.

Who can take attendance#

Role	Can mark attendance for
Owner, admin, front desk	Any class
Teacher	Only the classes they're teaching

If a teacher opens a class they don't teach, they can see the sheet but not change it.
