Platform Scope

Unified School Attendance Infrastructure

Built explicitly for schools requiring reliable attendance tracking and parent feedback, even in challenging network areas.

Roster Search & Match

Teachers use high-speed local indexing to search active students by name or unique student number on a shared gate tablet. No physical cards are required for attendance checks.

Queue Sync Engine

If internet drops, attendance updates queue up securely inside the mobile device's SQLite container. Once connection returns, they bulk-sync automatically to prevent record loss.

Outbound SMS Protection

Arrival texts are formatted within the 120-character GSM-7 single-message limit to control charges. Respects primary contact SMS preference toggles instantly.

Operation Architecture

How ParentConnect Works

A step-by-step glance at how we ensure children arrive safely, and teachers remain accountable.

Roster Search & Selection

Teachers scan or search students from the synchronized class list using initials, names, or student numbers. The search takes less than 100ms.

1

The local roster on the tablet contains only active student records, preventing attendance entry for inactive accounts.

2

Teachers tap the student to pull up the confirmation screen, preventing misclicks or incorrect records.

Flat Subscriptions

Transparent Active-Student Costing

No installation fee or long-term contracts. Pay strictly based on the active students mapped to your roster list.

Frequently Asked Questions

Read through our technical specifications and standard platform boundaries.

What happens if the school internet connection drops?
The ParentConnect companion app has a persistent offline queue. If a teacher logs an arrival without a connection, the mark is cached locally. The app attempts to upload the queued records in bulk once network connectivity is re-established.
How does the platform prevent duplicate SMS charges?
We employ a double-debounce logic. The gate terminal blocks subsequent submits on the same student card within a 5-minute window. Additionally, our worker queues check an idempotency hash of the transaction before submitting the SMS request to the MTN network.
Can parents opt out of receiving SMS alerts?
Yes. In the School Admin Dashboard, teachers or administrators can toggle SMS preferences individually for each linked guardian. If a guardian opts out, marks will still log attendance, but the backend worker will skip queueing outbound notifications.
Does the platform support NFC card scanning?
No. Card setup and NFC tap triggers are legacy/archive history only and are not part of the active MVP mobile gate flow. The active mobile application operates strictly via roster search and identity confirmation on shared gate tablets.
