Read the grid

The attendance grid is designed for visual pattern recognition. Two ways to scan it:

• Scan a row (left to right) — see one student's entire month. Clusters of red or gaps in green stand out immediately.
• Scan a column (top to bottom) — see how the whole class attended on a single day. Useful for spotting days with unusually high absences.

Spot patterns

Color-coding from your custom statuses makes trends visible at a glance. Common patterns to watch for:

• Repeated day absences — a student absent every Monday or Friday.
• Streaks — multiple absences in a row, which may signal a larger issue.
• Late patterns — consistently late on the same day or time.
• Declining attendance — steady attendance early in the semester that drops off over time.

Use status notes to record context alongside the pattern.

Class attendance summary

The bottom-left panel below the class selector shows your class-level stats:

• Total present — how many "present" marks across all students and days.
• Total absent — how many "absent" marks.
• Attendance rate — overall percentage for the class.

Individual student attendance

For a deeper look at one student, open their profile. The Overview tab includes:

• Weekly Attendance chart — a stacked bar chart showing Present, Late, Excused, and Absent by week over the semester.
• Attendance donut — overall attendance percentage with a count breakdown.

This is useful for parent conferences or when you need to document a student's attendance history. Pair attendance data with student notes for a complete picture before conferences. See Student profiles →
