Marking Attendance

Scholva supports multiple attendance methods so you can pick what works best for your school.

Daily attendance

The simplest way to mark attendance:

1. Go to Attendance → Mark Attendance
2. Select the class
3. Choose the date (defaults to today)
4. Tap each student's status: Present, Absent, or Late
5. Click Save

Bulk mark all present

If most students are present, save time by:

1. Click Mark All Present
2. Then switch specific students to Absent or Late
3. Click Save

Period-based attendance

For high schools with period-based schedules:

1. Go to Attendance → Period Attendance
2. Select the class and period from the timetable
3. Mark attendance for that specific period
4. Click Save

Biometric integration

If your school uses biometric devices (fingerprint or face recognition):

1. Ensure devices are connected to the Scholva backend
2. Attendance is captured automatically when students scan
3. Review exceptions in Attendance → Exceptions at the end of each day

Attendance reports

Go to Attendance → Reports to generate:

• Daily reports — who was present each day
• Monthly reports — attendance percentage per student
• Class comparison — identify classes with low attendance
• At-risk students — those below your configured threshold
