The Attendance tab inside a class shows what the mobile app recorded: one row per session, with how many students were present.
Per session
Each row shows the session, its date, and the attendance count against your
enrolled total — 18/24.
Read it as a time series rather than row by row. A count sliding from 22 to 14 over six weeks is the thing worth noticing, and it's invisible if you only look at today's number.
Sudden single-session drops usually have ordinary causes: a holiday weekend, exams elsewhere, heavy rain. A steady slide is different, and it's usually about the class.
The tab also shows QR check-ins not tied to any session, if you've scanned outside a session.
Per student
The Students tab carries each student's percentage — 75%, 9/12 sessions —
coloured green above 75%, amber 50–75%, red below.
The denominator is sessions you've marked completed. So if you don't mark sessions completed, every percentage here is wrong in the same direction — and students will look worse than they are.
Reading it with payment status
The two columns together tell a story neither tells alone:
| Attendance | Payment | Usually means |
|---|---|---|
| Good | Paid | Fine |
| Falling | Paid | Something's changed — a clash, or they're struggling. Worth asking. |
| Good | Overdue | Committed but can't pay right now. A payment plan often keeps them. |
| Poor | Overdue | Has effectively left. A reminder won't bring them back; a conversation might. |
The second row is the one teachers miss. A student still paying but no longer attending is the easiest to keep — they haven't given up yet — and the easiest to lose quietly.
What it can't tell you
Whether a student was actually there. It records that a QR code was scanned. Phones get handed to friends.
Whether they learned anything. Attendance is presence. Quiz results are a better signal, and both together better still.
Anything about sessions you didn't scan. A session where you forgot the app shows zero attendance, which will drag every percentage down. If it happens often, the numbers stop being worth reading.
Using it
Once a month, alongside payment status:
- Attendance tab — is the count trending down?
- Students tab — who's dropped below 50%?
- For each: are they also overdue?
- Message the good-attendance-overdue students first. They're the most likely to stay.
