In short

Pearspark takes class attendance in seconds and shows each student's history on a school-year calendar. The scheduler handles weekly schedules and A/B block rotations with rooms and bell periods; school breaks are a single source of truth that attendance, planning, and rotations all respect.

Attendance that takes seconds, records that last years

Present, absent, late, excused — tap through a roster and done. Every student's record shows a school-year attendance calendar with month and year views and per-class filtering, and attendance summaries flow into records packets when a student transfers.

Sample data
Taking attendance for a class: a class and date picker, a tally of 14 present, 1 absent and 1 late, and a roster with Present, Absent, Late and Excused buttons beside each student; the absent student has a reason box open. Student names are sample data.
Attendance for one class: tap Present, Absent, Late or Excused beside each name.

A schedule, not a wall chart

Build the week visually: classes, teachers, rooms, and bell periods. Schools on rotation schedules get real A/B (or Day 1–6) support — rotation days map to actual calendar dates, auto-assigned around breaks and editable per day. Chapel goes on the timetable like any class, with its own period and room. Meet four days a week? Set the days your school meets once, and the calendar and the school-day rules follow them.

Breaks entered once, respected everywhere

Holy days, holidays and in-service days live in one place. The rotation flows around them, the lesson planner shades them, and bumped lessons skip them — no re-entering closures in three systems.

Common questions

Do you support A/B day rotations?
Yes, properly: you define the rotation labels, and Pearspark maps each calendar date to a rotation day — auto-assigned around your breaks, editable for odd weeks. Classes scheduled on "A days" meet exactly when they should, and the lesson planner follows the same map.
Can parents see attendance?
Yes — each family's portal shows their student's attendance on the same school-year calendar staff see, updated in real time.
