Attendance is done.
Built by a South Florida high school teacher who was tired of spending 10 to 15 minutes taking attendance.
Chrome extension, Google Chrome onlyNo student data uploaded, captured, or storedTeacher license, I teach high school classes that can have close to 50 students. At the beginning of class, everybody is walking in and talking — and I am trying to call attendance.
I did not need another attendance system. My school already has one. I just needed a faster way to use it.
High school attendance sounds simple until you are standing in front of a large class trying to actually do it. This takes the repetitive part and makes it easier.
Students scan while you start class — instead of calling 40 or 50 names first.
No yelling “here.” No guessing who answered. The barcode finds the person on your roster.
Enter your school’s bell schedule once. Late scans mark Tardy and note the real scan time in the comments.
Walk in. Scan. Sit down. Attendance becomes part of entering the room.
Same class. Same Focus page. Different start.
Done.
Until you lose it every period.
If ID Attendance Scanner saves just 5 minutes each school day, that adds up to about 15 hours over a 180 day school year. Closer to 10 minutes a day? Around 30 hours.
That is a lot of class time spent calling names. For $20$15 a year, I would rather have the time back.
It does not replace the attendance system your school already uses. That is the point. Your normal Focus roster — just much faster.
Same Focus roster. Same Save button. No second attendance system.
Names, IDs, and marks stay on your computer. We never receive them.
Review the roster. You press Save in Focus. It never submits for you.
Enter class times once. Late scans become Tardy with a comment of the real scan time.
A student scans. The extension finds them. Their attendance is marked. You keep doing what you were doing. When you are ready, review and press Save.
