Improving student attendance Schools constantly face increasing pressure to maintain accurate and timely information about student attendance. Existing paper-based systems in many schools are time-consuming and often just plain inaccurate. This compromises the ability of the school to provide accurate information to parents and the Department of Education and Training. The Desktop based Sirius RollMarker software from Sirius Logic meets the needs of schools to accurately record and efficiently report on student attendance. Sirius Logic wanted to give schools the ability to record this information electronically on a handheld device, removing the need for pen and paper.
Roll marking data is uploaded to Sirius RollMarker instantly, rather than being placed in the in-tray of administration staff to manually key in. This method alone has been found to significantly increase awareness of a student's whereabouts, as administration staff usually do not have time to keep the roll marking paperwork up to date. We have found that some schools were spending over an hour each day, manually entering the attendance information into their computer system. Pocket Roll eliminates this tedious process, and saves schools from the added expense. |

Some schools have also found that after implementing Pocket Roll, their records of unexplained absences have dropped by half, and that the presence of a sophisticated roll marking system has heightened the awareness of attendance information among students.
