Roll call in a few taps
Open today’s session, mark Present, Absent or Late with one gesture, then submit the roll call. Designed mobile-first, from the instructor’s phone, with no notebook or loose sheet.
Attendance & roll call
The attendance tracking that notifies parents on its own
Nezam’s attendance tracking software lets the instructor take roll for a session in a few taps — Present, Absent or Late, with reason and behaviour — then submit the roll call. From the very first minute of absence, the legal guardian is notified automatically on the parent app.
Why it’s better
Roll call, no paperwork and no follow-ups.
Four concrete benefits for the instructor, management and families.
Families notified on their own
From the very first minute of absence or lateness, the legal guardian receives a push notification on the parent app. No one has to be chased to report an absence.
A reason and a behaviour, not a tick
Every absence or lateness carries its reason. Each learner can receive positive or negative behaviour for the session — tracking that flows back to families, not just a column of ticks.
A reliable roll call, because it’s submitted
As long as the roll call isn’t submitted, the dashboard flags it. No more forgotten session: management sees at a glance the roll calls left to complete.
How it works
From opening the session to notifying families.
Five steps, a few seconds per learner — the same gesture every session.
- 1
Open today’s session
From the dashboard or the current session, the instructor finds the slot’s list of learners, already loaded.
- 2
Mark attendance and lateness
One tap per learner: Present, Absent or Late. Add an absence or lateness reason if needed, in seconds.
- 3
Record behaviour
A positive or negative behaviour can be assigned for the session, to recognise or flag a learner to their family.
- 4
Enter homework
The next session’s homework is entered directly from roll call, so it reaches families with no re-entry.
- 5
Submit the roll call
Submission locks the record and triggers the notifications. The dashboard removes the session from the list of unsubmitted roll calls.
The roll-call screen
The roll call of a session, as it appears.
The slot’s list is already loaded. One tap sets the status, another opens the reason, and submission triggers everything else — family notifications included.
- Present / Absent / Late status in one gesture
- Reason and behaviour per learner
- Submission that locks the record and notifies families
Family notifications
Who is notified, of what and when.
Notifications go out automatically to the legal guardian, with no action from the team.
| Event | Moment | Channel | Recipient |
|---|---|---|---|
| Absence | From the 1st minute of roll call | Push notification | Legal guardian |
| Lateness | On roll-call submission | Push notification | Legal guardian |
| Behaviour +/− | On roll-call submission | Push notification | Legal guardian |
| Session homework | On roll-call submission | Parent app | Parents & student |
The triggering of absence, lateness and behaviour notifications follows your organisation’s settings, in the parent app configuration.
Behaviours
Recognise as much as flag.
On each session, a positive or negative behaviour can be assigned to a learner — and it flows back to their family.
Positive behaviour
- Active participation in the session
- Helping other learners
- Neat work handed in on time
- Notable progress over the period
Negative behaviour
- Chatter or restlessness
- Homework not done
- Materials or supplies forgotten
- Repeated lateness to the slot
Behaviour reasons and labels are configurable per organisation. The examples above are indicative.
Reliability
A roll call is only reliable if it’s submitted.
Submission locks the attendance record and triggers the notifications. As long as a session isn’t submitted, it stays flagged — impossible to forget.
- Unsubmitted roll calls surface on the dashboard
- Sessions with no homework are flagged in the same place
- Management catches up on omissions at a glance
Who it’s for
One roll call, three benefits.
Instructors
Roll call is taken from mobile, in seconds per learner, with no paperwork to copy out afterwards.
Management
Unsubmitted roll calls and sessions with no homework surface on the dashboard — no session is overlooked.
Parents & students
A notification from the very first minute of absence, plus the history of attendance, lateness and behaviour in the bilingual EN/AR app.
Paper roll-call book vs Nezam
Far more than a column of ticks.
The same gesture — roll call — but structured, shared in real time and impossible to forget.
| Criterion | Paper roll-call book | With Nezam |
|---|---|---|
| Taking the roll | Notebook or loose sheet | A few taps on mobile |
| Absence / lateness reason | Rarely noted | Recorded and archived |
| Behaviour +/− | Absent | Positive or negative per learner |
| Informing families | Manual follow-up, WhatsApp | Automatic push notification |
| Reliability of the record | Frequent omissions | Roll-call submission + dashboard alert |
| Per-learner history | Hard to reconstruct | Recorded on the learner profile |

Frequently asked questions
Everything about roll call and family notifications.
How does Nezam’s attendance tracking software work?
Nezam’s attendance tracking software lets the instructor take roll for a session in a few taps from their phone: Present, Absent or Late, with a reason and a positive or negative behaviour. Once the roll call is submitted, the record is locked and families are notified automatically.
Are parents notified in case of absence?
Yes. From the very first minute of an absence or lateness flagged during roll call, the legal guardian receives a push notification on the parent app. It’s automatic: the teaching team has no follow-up to do to inform the family.
Why must the roll call be submitted?
Submitting the roll call locks the attendance record and triggers the notifications to families. As long as a session isn’t submitted, it appears in the dashboard’s list of unsubmitted roll calls, which prevents forgotten sessions and guarantees reliable tracking.
Can you record a reason and a behaviour per learner?
Yes. Each absence or lateness can carry a reason, and each learner can receive a positive or negative behaviour for the session. This information flows back to families via the parent app, whereas a paper roll-call book is limited to a column of ticks.
Do you need a computer to take the roll?
No. Roll call is designed mobile-first: the instructor does it from their phone, including over 4G networks. The data is synced in real time with the team’s web workspace and the families’ app.
Do absences and lateness show up on the learner’s profile?
Yes. Each submitted roll call feeds the learner’s history: their absences, lateness, reasons and behaviours can be viewed on their profile by the team, and followed by the family in the parent app.
