For a member of staff

A face match on the app, inside the school.

Students and staff check in on the app with a face match, inside the school’s boundary and within its check-in times.

  • Every enrolled face approved by an admin.
  • Duplicates blocked, and every attempt logged.
  • Gate biometric devices feed the same record.

Questions

What schools ask us first.

Do we need to buy devices to take attendance?
No. Class teachers mark the register on the web or phone, and face check-in runs on the app. Biometric devices are for schools that want them.
Can someone check in from outside the school?
No. An app check-in counts only inside the school’s boundary and within its check-in times. Every attempt is logged, and repeated wrong-face attempts alert admins.
How do parents hear that a child is absent?
In the SchooWare app and by push notification, when the school turns the alerts on.
Does attendance keep working when the internet is down?
Yes, with on-premises devices. Face check-in on the app works online; biometric devices on the school’s premises keep recording without internet, then sync.
