Attendance System
Taking attendance should take seconds, not minutes. PowerMySchool transforms the daily attendance routine with one-click digital marking, biometric device integration, and instant parent alerts. Teachers mark attendance from their phone or computer, and the system automatically generates daily, weekly, and monthly reports -- giving administrators a bird's-eye view of attendance patterns across the entire school.
