Clock In / Clock Out

From any tab within a child's profile, you can manually clock your child in or out using the button at the top right:

  • Clock In — records the child as arriving at school. The status badge changes to Present (green).
  • Clock Out — records the child as leaving school. A confirmation toast message appears (e.g., "Amama Amaaka clocked out").

This is an alternative to using your Kiosk PIN or QR code at the school's physical kiosk terminal.

The Clock In / Clock Out button only appears in the child's profile. It updates the attendance record in real time and is visible to the school's admin and teachers.

Tips

  • Check the Profile tab for medical info. If your child has allergies or is on medication, this is where you can confirm what the school has on file. If anything is incorrect, contact the school's admin to update it.
  • Use the time period filter on Attendance. Switch between This Week, This Month, or a custom range to see a broader attendance history for your child.
  • Download invoices for your records. Use the Download action in the Invoices tab to save copies of invoices for your own records or expense tracking.
  • Results tab shows milestone history. Each row in Results is a completed assessment — you can track your child's learning progress across subjects over time.
  • Reports tab tracks summary emails. If you're not receiving activity summary emails, check the Reports tab — if nothing is listed, the school may not have configured automated reports for your child yet.
  • Inactive children are still visible. If a child shows as Inactive, their card still appears on the Children list but their profile data may be limited. Contact the school to reactivate the child's enrollment.
  • Clock In/Out from the app if you forget the kiosk. If you miss the kiosk at drop-off, you can manually clock in your child directly from their profile using the Clock In button.
