Late, absent, and the arrival cut-off
How the cut-off decides late from absent, and where to set it.
Your arrival cut-off is the time after which an arrival counts as late rather than on time. It is yours to set. Most schools put it somewhere between 8:30 and 9:00.
A student who has not scanned in at all is shown as Absent on the day’s register. At the alert time you set (9:00am unless you change it), their parent is sent a message that their child has not arrived at school, and the head and admin get one line saying how many have not arrived. A student the office has already recorded as away or sick is not reported.

See who arrived in your class
The gate does the counting. Your class shows who came in, and when.
See which teachers have arrived
Staff scan in at the gate too. Who is late, who has not come, and which class is waiting.
