Roll Call

Perform head counts and safety roll calls for your classrooms.

Roll Call lets you quickly verify the presence of children in your classrooms. Use it for routine head counts, fire drills, excursions, or any situation where you need to confirm every child is accounted for.

How to Access

Navigate to Roll Call in the sidebar, or click the New Roll Call button on the Attendance page.

Starting a Roll Call

Click New Roll Call

Click the + New Roll Call button in the top-right corner.

Select the roll call type

Choose the type that best describes the situation:

Fire Drill — emergency evacuation practice
Excursion — a field trip or outing
Routine — a regular daily head count
Transition — moving between rooms or activities
Custom — anything else. You'll be asked for a reason

New Roll Call window with Routine selected, Center-Wide Roll Call chosen, and a note reading "Morning head count before outdoor play"

Select a classroom (optional)

Choose a specific classroom, or leave it as Center-Wide Roll Call, which creates a session for every classroom that has children checked in. Every one of your active classrooms is listed, however many you have.

A center-wide roll call gives each room its own session, tagged Part of center-wide roll call. From any one of them, View all classrooms takes you to the others.

Add notes (optional)

Enter any relevant context for this roll call.

Click Start Roll Call

The session begins and you're taken to the verification screen.

Verifying Children

Once a roll call is started, you see each checked-in child as a card. For each child:

Click to mark as Present
Right-click to mark as Missing
Click again to undo and return to Unverified

The progress counters at the top update in real time showing Present, Missing, and Unverified counts.

Roll call session halfway through: one child marked Present, one still Unverified, and the progress bar at 50%

Use the Mark All Present button to quickly verify all remaining children at once — useful for routine counts where everyone is accounted for.

Completing or Cancelling

Once every child is accounted for, click Complete Roll Call to finalize the session.

Anyone still unverified is recorded as missing. The confirmation says so before you commit. If a child simply hasn't been looked at yet, mark them before completing.

If the roll call was started in error, click Cancel Roll Call instead and confirm.

Completed sessions can't be changed. They become a permanent record you can review in Roll Call Reports.

Filtering Sessions

Use the status tabs to filter the session list:

All — Every roll call session
In Progress — Sessions still being verified
Completed — Finalized sessions
Cancelled — Sessions that were cancelled

You can also filter by classroom and roll call type using the dropdown filters.

Roll Call is an optional module. If disabled, the Roll Call sidebar link and related features are hidden.
