Taking attendance
Mark daily attendance and fix a mistake from an earlier day.
Marking attendance is the most frequent thing a class teacher does, and it takes under a minute. Ovium keeps the history, and parents see it the same day.
Marking today's attendance
Open Attendance
From the menu, open Attendance and choose your class for today.
Mark each student
Set each student as present, absent, or on leave. A quick way is to mark everyone present, then change the few who are not.
Save
Save. The day is recorded and the totals update immediately.
Marking the whole class present first and then flipping the absentees is usually the fastest approach for a full class.
Fixing an earlier day
Marked someone wrong, or need to change a past day? Open Attendance, choose the earlier date, correct the student, and save again. The history updates to match.
What parents see
Once you save, each child's parent can see that day's status and their running attendance from their own login. There is nothing extra to send — it appears for them automatically.
How attendance rate is worked out
Ovium turns the marks into a percentage for each student and class. Present counts in full; leave is treated partially. You do not have to calculate anything — the totals and rates are shown for you.
If you use the assistant, try “my class attendance today” or “class-wise attendance” for an instant summary without opening the register.
