Can parents check their students into class? – Studio Pro

If you enable the Mobile Check-In feature, parents are able to check their students into class from the Parent Portal. This means that the student would be marked as present for the class(es) the parent selects without you or the teacher needing to do anything further.

To turn this option on for your parents, go to More > Settings then select "Portal Settings" in the left menu.

Choose the Options tab.

Parent Portal Settings interface screen.

Next, scroll down to the "Attendance Settings" page and check the box that says "Let Parents use Mobile Check-In." For this option to work, you must also check the box to "Show Absences Page."

After you save those settings your parents can start using Mobile Check-In.
