Attendance & scheduling

Attendance shouldn't stop at “present.”

Track what actually happened in every session — then let attendance feed the rest of your center. Scheduling, billing, payroll and reporting stay connected because they work from the same record.

Scheduling

Scheduling built for a real center.

Organize courses into batches, assign staff, schedule rooms and see where your team is teaching.

Novano checks scheduling conflicts by staff and by room, so multiple classes can run at the same time without a false clash.

Attendance

Record what really happened.

“Present” and “absent” don't describe a tutoring center's week. Novano records the states you actually deal with, and keeps them as history rather than a sheet that gets replaced each term.

  • Attended, absent and no-show recorded as distinct states
  • Late cancellations handled by policy, not by memory
  • Makeup obligations created where the policy calls for them
  • Bulk roster marking for a whole batch in one pass
  • Center attendance analytics across group and individual sessions

Eight weeks of one batch. The rate per student is derived, not typed — and the last column is simply a session nobody has marked yet.

Attendance becomes operational data.

Record it once and use it throughout the center.

Questions

Good to know

Can two classes run at the same time?

Yes. Novano checks conflicts by staff and by room, so parallel classes don't raise a false clash — a center running four rooms at 4pm is a normal Tuesday, not an error.

Who marks attendance?

The staff assigned to the session, plus owners and administrators. What each person sees follows their role.

What happens when a student cancels late?

Your cancellation policy decides. Novano can issue a makeup credit and apply it against a future session, from the same system that holds attendance and fees.

Does attendance affect billing automatically?

That's the point of recording it here. Delivered sessions become billable obligations and payable tutor hours, from one record rather than three.
