Student Attendance Module – Overview

The Student Attendance Module in Fedena helps institutions record, monitor, and track student attendance efficiently. It enables teachers to mark students as present or absent, maintain attendance records, generate attendance reports, and monitor attendance patterns for better academic and administrative planning.

Fedena automatically considers all students as Present by default. Teachers only need to mark students who are absent. Attendance can be recorded for the full day or half-day (Forenoon or Afternoon), and absence reasons can also be provided. The system can send SMS notifications to students and their emergency contacts when a student is marked absent, provided SMS integration is configured.

Who Can Mark Student Attendance?

• Administrator: Can mark student attendance.

• Privileged Employee: Must have the Student Attendance Register privilege.

• Daily Attendance: Only the employee assigned as the batch tutor can mark attendance.

• Subject-wise Attendance: Only the employee assigned to the respective subject can mark attendance.

• Swapped Employee: Can mark subject-wise attendance for the particular subject on the day of the employee swap.

Important Points

1. For subject-wise attendance, a timetable must be created for each batch.

2. The Rapid Attendance feature allows teachers to mark attendance quickly without entering absence reasons.

3. Attendance reports can be generated batch-wise to monitor student attendance.

4. Students can view their own attendance records for the current academic year through their Fedena login.

5. SMS notifications require the SMS gateway to be configured.

Purpose: The module helps institutions maintain accurate attendance records, identify attendance trends, monitor student absenteeism, and take timely action to improve student attendance.
