Class Teachers, Heads of Academics, and School Administrators

School Attendance Tracking Software for Schools

Paper attendance registers are filled in daily but never analysed — chronic absenteeism goes undetected until a student's grades collapse, and parents are only informed when it is too late to correct the pattern.

Overview

Attendance tracking software converts the daily class roll call from a passive record-keeping exercise into an active early warning system. When a teacher marks a student absent in a paper register, nothing happens. When a teacher marks a student absent in RedeemOS, a parent receives an SMS alert within minutes, the absence is logged against the student's cumulative attendance record, and the academic head can see class-level attendance rates in real time. Over a term, these records reveal patterns — students with chronic Monday absences, entire classes with poor attendance rates in certain periods, and individual students who are disengaging before their grades show the impact. RedeemOS turns attendance data into a tool for intervention.

Key Capabilities

Digital daily roll call
Teachers mark students present or absent for each class period from any device. The roll call interface loads the current class list automatically.
Automatic parent SMS alert
When a student is marked absent, an SMS is sent to the registered parent or guardian immediately — no manual phone calls required.
Cumulative attendance record
Every attendance mark contributes to each student's running attendance percentage, visible on their profile and on their report card.
Late arrival and early departure logging
Beyond present or absent, teachers can log late arrivals with the time of entry and early departures with parental authorisation notes.
Absenteeism analytics
Administrators see attendance rates by class, by subject, by day of week, and by individual student — identifying chronic absenteeism before it becomes a crisis.
Attendance on report cards
Each student's termly attendance summary — number of days present, absent, and percentage attendance — appears automatically on their end-of-term report card.
