Various schools have their own way of taking attendance. While it serves a mostly administrative purpose and is resented by quite a few teachers, it can and should be used as a report tool.
We now create a google sheet and use colour-coding to provide the parents with as much information as possible. At the beginning of each month we create a new sheet and share it with the administration. At the end of the month we post screenshots in groups specifically created for the parents and ask them to help eliminate the cases where a child is absent, late or unprepared. Where corporate clients are considered, the register provides the employer with solid information on how their staff treats the course.
