Class attendance and self attendance (Staff app)
Mark your class register for today, mark yourself present from the school with Self Attendance, and check your own attendance in JPX Staff.
JPX Staff has three attendance screens. Class Attendance is the class teacher's register for today. Self Attendance lets you mark yourself in and out from your phone while you are at school. My Attendance (the Attendance tab) shows your own attendance as the school recorded it.
Before you start#
- You are signed in to JPX Staff. See Sign in to JPX Staff.
- Class Attendance needs the Mark class attendance permission on your portal account, and you must be class teacher of a section.
- Self Attendance needs the school to switch it on, and the Self attendance from the Staff app permission on your account. Your phone must have fingerprint or face unlock set up, location switched on, and a working camera.
Mark today's class register#
- On Home, under My class, tap Class Attendance.
- Check the heading: your class, section and number of students. OPEN means you can mark today's register.
- Tap Mark all present to start with everyone present, if that is quicker.
- For each student, tap P (present), A (absent), L (late) or Lv (leave).
- Add a note in Remark (optional) if needed.
- Check the counts for Present, Absent, Late and Leave.
- Tap Save register.
- Read the summary in Save today's register? and tap Save register.
The app confirms how many students were marked. The register then shows SAVED and is closed.
Mark yourself present (Self Attendance)#
Register your phone (once)#
- On Home, tap Self Attendance.
- Under Register once, tap Register on this phone.
- Confirm it is you with your fingerprint or face.
- Take your registration selfie.
- The app shows Registered. You can mark your attendance from this phone now.
Punch in and out#
- Be at the school, within the area the school has set.
- Open Self Attendance.
- Tap Punch in when you arrive. Later in the day the button says Punch out.
- Allow the app to find your location.
- Confirm it is you with your fingerprint or face.
- Take the selfie.
- The app shows the time, your status and how far you were from the school.
Today at the top shows whether you are marked, with your in and out times.
Check your own attendance#
- Tap Attendance on the bottom bar.
- Move between months with the arrows.
- Read the counts for Present, Absent, Late, Leave and Half day.
- Tap the counts card to see Whole session.
- Scroll to Calendar and Remarks for day-by-day detail.
Good to know#
- The app marks only today's class register. Other days are marked by the office in the School ERP.
- On a day the school is closed, the register cannot be marked.
- Self Attendance accepts punches only from the phone you registered. For a new phone, ask the office to reset your registration.
- A half day in your own register counts as half a day present.
- The office's side of attendance is described in the School ERP guide on attendance.
Troubleshooting#

| "Switch the phone's location on, then try again." | Turn on location in the phone's quick settings. |
