SELFIE + GPS ATTENDANCE

School Attendance App with Selfie + GPS Verification

Mark staff and student attendance with a live selfie and a location check against the school's geofence, so proxy attendance and check-ins from outside campus are much harder.

Attendance you can actually trust

Paper registers and simple tap-to-mark apps cannot tell whether someone is really on campus. Mezoway adds two checks to every check-in: a photo taken at that moment and the GPS position compared with your school's location. For staff, check-ins also work only from a device the admin has approved.

Everything is stored per day with status, time and (for staff) total hours, so the principal gets live dashboards and parents get absence alerts. Read more in our guide to selfie and GPS attendance for schools.

Verified, simple and audit-ready

🤳

Live selfie on every check-in

A photo is captured at check-in and stored with the attendance record.

📍

GPS geofence

The check-in location is compared with a configurable radius around your school and flagged if it is out of range.

📱

Admin-approved devices

A staff member's phone must be approved by the admin before it can mark attendance, and approval can be revoked.

⏱️

Check-in, check-out and hours

Staff attendance records check-in, check-out and total hours with present, half-day, absent or leave status.

✏️

Correction requests

Raise a correction with a reason; the admin approves or rejects it, leaving a clear audit trail.

🗓️

Holiday-aware

A school holiday calendar means holidays are not counted as absences.

🔔

Instant parent alerts

Parents can be notified when their child is marked absent, via WhatsApp, SMS, email or in-app.

🧑‍🏫

Class attendance for teachers

Teachers mark students present, absent, late or on leave for their own classes.

📊

Live dashboards

Principals see attendance trends and history without waiting for end-of-day reports.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does selfie and GPS attendance work?
At check-in the person takes a photo and the app reads their location. The location is compared with a geofence around the school, and the photo is stored with the record. Staff can only check in from an admin-approved device.
Can attendance be marked from home?
Check-ins outside the school's configured radius are recorded as out of range, and staff devices must be approved by the admin, which makes marking attendance from an unapproved phone or location much harder.
What if a teacher forgets or their phone fails?
They can raise an attendance correction request with a reason. The admin reviews it and approves or rejects it, and the decision is recorded.
Do we need biometric machines or special hardware?
No. Mezoway works in the phone browser, so there is no biometric hardware to buy or maintain.
Are school holidays handled?
Yes. You add holidays to the school calendar, and those days are marked as holidays rather than absences.
Who can see attendance photos and locations?
Access is role-based, like the rest of Mezoway, so only roles with permission can view attendance records.
