Our staff use the Electronic Attendance Register (eAR) which allows real-time tracking of student attendance. That data is fed to our parents through Early Notification which will send a text message to parents of students whose non-attendance is unexplained. Student attendance is also displayed on the web portal which is accessible (password protected) 24/7.
