How schools take and manage attendance has not changed in the past 25 years. Phoenix Learning Systems has dramatically changed how schools deal with attendance.  Our OnTime© software tackles the two hardest processes of taking and managing attendance.

​

First, the status quo of taking attendance is for the teachers is to log on to a system and select the class or period and manually look or call the students on a list and mark them present, absent or tardy. The issue with this teacher-auto present system is that if the teacher forgets or does not take attendance, the students are presumed present, which they may no be.

​

Secondly, schools waste a great deal of time and energy excusing unexcused absences. The secretary daily calls parents for the reason of an absence, this is repeated all day, everyday.  Our OnTime system provides a way for each unexcused absence to be texted to the designated parent allowing them to excuse the absence.
