Automatically update attendance rolls from kiosk

If your school uses the uEducateUs Kiosk, you can setup the system to automatically update student attendance rolls when students are dropped-off and picked-up.

Before you start

Enable Student arrival and departures on the Kiosk app

• Click Attendance > More > Student arrivals and departures > Preferences.

Enable automatic attendance marking

• Tick Allow kiosk entries for Late Drop Off and Early Pickup…

• Click Save.

Set up automatic attendance code selection

• Navigate to Management>Sign ins>Student.

• Click on Create student sign in reason.

  • Enter a Reason - these are visible to Parents to choose from when signing in their Students.

  • Choose an attendance code to Mark attendance for classes prior to arrival.

  • Choose an attendance code to Mark attendance for the class at the time of arrival.

  • Choose an attendance code to Mark attendance for the classes after arrival.

  • If an attendance code field is left blank, attendance will not be automatically marked for that field.

  • Click Save.

• Click on the Sign Out Reasons tab.

• Click on Create student sign out reason.

  • Enter a Reason - these are visible to Parents to choose from when signing in their Students.

  • Choose an attendance code to Mark attendance for classes prior to arrival.

  • Choose an attendance code to Mark attendance for the class at the time of arrival.

  • Click Save.

Absent Arrival

This option allows the existing at time of arrival kiosk code to be overwritten depending on how late an arrival has been or how early the student has left.

For example:

AM Period: 9:00am = 12pm

PM Period: 12pm - 3:30pm

• Reason: Medical Appointment

• Mark attendance for the class at time of arrival: 111 - Late arrival at school

• Absent Arrival:

  • 2hr

  • 205 - Medical Appointment

If the student is signed in on the Kiosk at 11:25am, rather than getting marked as 111 - Late arrival at school, the student will be marked with 205- Medical Appointment because the arrival time was more than 2 hours after the current period had started.

If the student arrived at 10:15, then 111 - Late arrival at school would have been used.
