Feature · Attendance · Planned
Simple attendance, honest limits.
Daily attendance from any phone, automatic absence texts to parents, and a complete history on every student record. It's planned — no date announced — and we'll tell you exactly what it is and isn't designed to do.
Planned; no date announced. Attendance is on the 613OS roadmap. Today we integrate with your SIS — rosters stay current there, and 613OS runs payments, communications, forms and everything else around it.

The problems this is built to solve
The paper attendance ritualClipboards to the office, someone typing them in (or not), and no record anyone can search when a question comes up in February.
Parents learn about absences at 6pmA child marked absent at 9am should trigger a parent text at 9:05 — not a conversation at pickup about a kid who never arrived.
Camps and preschools have no optionFull SIS platforms are overkill for a preschool or day camp that just needs to know who's here, who isn't, and that every parent was notified.
What it's designed to do
Built to make this disappear
Planned; no date announced. This is the scope we are building toward.
One-tap daily attendanceTeachers mark present, absent, or late from a phone or tablet in under a minute per class — no clipboard, no re-typing.
Instant absence alertsA student marked absent with no reported reason triggers an automatic text to parents within minutes — safety first, always.
Attendance on the student recordEvery day's status lives on the student's record alongside payments, forms, and communications — one family, one file.
Late & early-dismissal trackingTardies and early pickups logged with timestamps, connected to your carpool and dismissal workflows.
Patterns & summariesAbsence streaks and attendance-rate summaries surfaced to the office so chronic patterns get a caring phone call early.
Camp & preschool check-in modeMorning check-in by bunk or class with a live headcount — built for the settings that need simple more than sophisticated.
The honest part
Where it will shine — and where a dedicated SIS beats it
Most platforms oversell. We'd rather tell you exactly where this tool is aimed and exactly where a dedicated SIS is the right answer.
What it's designed to do wellDaily and session-based attendance, automatic parent notifications, timestamps, student-record history, and summary reporting. Aimed at preschools, ganim, day camps, after-school programs, and smaller schools.
What it isn't being built forPeriod-by-period secondary scheduling, state-mandated reporting formats, or seat-time compliance calculations. If your school needs those, we'll say it straight: run a dedicated SIS for attendance and let 613OS handle everything else — we integrate with the SIS platforms schools already use.

Frequently asked questions
What is school attendance tracking software?
School attendance tracking software records daily presence, lateness, and absences, notifies parents automatically, and surfaces patterns over time. 613OS attendance is planned — no date announced. Today we integrate with your SIS, so rosters stay current there while 613OS runs everything else.
What will the attendance feature include?
Daily and period attendance from any device, automatic parent notifications for unexplained absences, late tracking, and pattern reports — the operational core most yeshivas and day schools need day to day. It is planned; no date has been announced.
What won't it do?
It is not being built for state compliance reporting or seat-time filings. Schools with regulatory attendance requirements should keep that function in a full SIS — 613OS syncs rosters with SIS platforms so both systems stay current.
Will parents be notified when a child is absent?
That is the design: an unexplained absence triggers an automatic WhatsApp, SMS, or email to parents within minutes of attendance being taken — closing the safety loop without the office making calls.
Will we see attendance patterns over time?
Yes, as planned: per-student and per-class trends surface chronic lateness and emerging absence patterns early, giving the hanhala data for the conversation before it becomes a crisis.
