Effortless Attendance Tracking

Attendance is more than just marking days present. It affects compliance, reporting, pacing, and planning. It sounds simple until you find yourself frantically recounting school days at the end of the year, trying to figure out if you've met your state's requirement. Did you mark those three days when everyone had a cold? Spreadsheets get forgotten. Days blur together. Suddenly, you're not sure if you're at 165 days or 173.

Eduscena tracks attendance automatically, so you never have to worry about missing a day. Your school calendar—including breaks, holidays, absences, and events—creates a living record in real time and flows seamlessly into reports you can generate whenever you need them.

They're there. You're teaching. We're counting.

School Days, Handled Automatically

Configure your school year once. Set your start and end dates, select the holidays that matter, add breaks, and choose your active school days. Eduscena knows when instruction is expected and automatically marks your child present. You only update it when school doesn't happen. Each day tracks itself, no repetitive setup, no manual counting, no stress.

What gets tracked:

  • Present instructional days
  • Teaching days (Eduscena marks them present)
  • Absences (including sick days or life's plot twists)
  • School events and field trips
  • Breaks (automatically excluded—you can add more anytime)
  • Holidays (automatically excluded)
  • Remaining required school days
  • Projected end date (automatically updates for absences)

Your Year, at a Glance

See your entire school year in one clean, color-coded view for each student. With Eduscena, every lesson, break, and event is reflected instantly. No recounting or spreadsheets, just a clear picture of your progress.
