Face check-in

Face check-in for school attendance, with the school’s rules.

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

For students and staff

Three checks before a check-in counts.

  • The face matches that person’s enrolled face.
  • The phone is inside the school’s location boundary.
  • The time is within the school’s check-in times.

For the admin

No face is used until an admin approves.

An admin can enrol a face, or the person can enrol their own on the app.

  • App-enrolled faces wait in a queue for approval.
  • Every check-in attempt is logged, passed or refused.
  • Repeated wrong-face attempts alert the admins.

For the parent

Late, gone early or absent: the parent is told.

Face check-in, devices at the gate and the class teacher’s register all write to one attendance record.

  • One record, however the child was marked.
  • Each device at the gate is approved by an admin.
  • Alerts reach the parent in the app, when turned on.

Questions

What schools ask about face check-in.

What stops a student checking in from home?
The location boundary. A check-in counts only inside it, and within the school’s check-in times.
Does it work without the internet?
Face check-in on the app works online. Biometric devices on the school’s premises keep recording without internet, and attendance syncs to the cloud when the connection is back.
Do we still need the class register?
That is the school’s choice. The register, face check-in and gate devices all write to one record, so use one or all three.
