The problem

Why paper registers stop working

Attendance is the record everything else depends on. It decides who gets billed, which parents need to hear from you, and whether a student is quietly drifting away before anyone notices.

Paper register

  • The book is with whoever taught last
  • Parents asking about last month wait days for an answer
  • Written up later, from memory
  • Write-only: nothing happens when a student stops coming

With PartApp

  • Every batch's register is on every trainer's phone
  • Any month's attendance is a lookup, not a search
  • Marked live, during the class
  • Parents hear about every class, automatically

A register works when one person runs one batch. It stops working the moment there are several trainers, several batches, and a parent asking how many classes their child actually attended last month. A student missing three weeks looks identical to a student who came every day, until someone thinks to look.

How it works

From class to parent in four steps

  1. 1Open the batch

    The trainer opens today's class on their phone. No sheet to carry, no device to find.

  2. 2Tap present or absent

    One toggle per student, or mark everyone present and switch off the few who are missing.

  3. 3Parents are told

    Each family is notified automatically. It goes out on the busy days too.

  4. 4History builds itself

    The record sits against the student, visible to the academy, trainer and parent.

What you get

How PartApp handles it

Marking takes seconds

Designed to be done while the class is settling, not in a free period later when memory has faded. Nothing to type up afterwards.

Parents are told automatically

Marking attendance notifies the parent, closing the gap between a missed class and the family finding out. No one has to remember to send it.

One permanent, shared record

Attendance history is visible to the academy, the trainer and the parent. "How many classes last month?" stops being an argument and becomes a lookup.

Rescheduled classes stay straight

The schedule and the attendance record live in the same system, so a moved class does not turn into a batch of students wrongly marked absent.

What a register cannot tell you

A register records attendance. A system notices patterns.

A student who has missed three consecutive weeks looks exactly like a regular attendee in a book, and looks like a problem in a system. That matters, because a student drifting away is usually recoverable for about a month and rarely after that.

It also changes the parent conversation. Instead of a general impression that a child has been missing classes, there is a specific record both sides can see. That is the difference between a parent disputing the claim and a parent addressing it.

3 classes missed in a row. Time to call home.

In a paper register these weeks look like any other row. In PartApp the gap is on the student's record, for the academy and the parent.

Connected

How it fits with the rest of PartApp

Attendance draws on student management for who is in each batch, and feeds parent communication and payroll class counts.

Who it's for

Where it matters most

Dance academies

Attendance drives both billing and choreography planning.

Coaching institutes

A defensible record per subject and per batch.

Sports academies

Participation tracked across every session and venue.

Common questions

How long does marking a batch take?
Seconds, from a phone, during the class. It is designed to be done while the class is settling rather than written up afterwards, because attendance recorded from memory is the kind that turns out wrong.
Do parents get told every time?
Marking attendance notifies the parent automatically. Nobody has to decide to send it, which is what closes the gap between a student missing class and their family knowing.
What happens when a class is rescheduled?
The schedule and the attendance record are in the same system, so moving a class does not leave a batch of students wrongly marked absent.
