Track attendance with custom attendance tiers

Updated over a week ago

Toddle now gives you greater control over how you monitor student attendance. You can define your own tiers with custom threshold values, enabling you to track attendance in a way that best fits your school’s needs.

Set up attendance tiers

To set up attendance tiers, navigate to:

Admin portal → Attendance Settings → Tiers

On this page, you will find the default tier definitions:

  • For existing and new schools, Toddle will pre-populate two default tiers:

    • 0% or higher

    • 90% or higher

To customize them, click the ‘Edit’ icon at the top-right of the page.

When setting up custom attendance tiers, keep the following in mind:

  • Tiers are configured at the school level and remain consistent across all curricula.

  • You can add new tiers by clicking the ‘+’ button. For each tier, enter the lower limit (e.g., 90% or higher), assign a tier label (such as Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, etc.), and choose a color for easy identification. You can edit, delete, or update the individual tiers at any time.

  • The upper limit is automatically calculated based on the next tier’s lower limit, ensuring there are no overlaps or gaps.

  • A default tier labeled 0% or higher is always present and cannot be modified. This ensures the full 0–100% range is covered.

  • There is no set limit to the number of tiers you can create. However, if conflicts arise during tier creation (e.g., trying to create a tier at a lower limit that already exists), the ‘Save’ button will be disabled.

Once done, click the ‘Save’ button.

Review attendance based on tiers

Once configured, custom attendance tiers will appear consistently across different views for all users.

  • Administrators: Displayed in the Attendance dashboard card within the admin portal.

  • Homeroom teachers: Displayed in the Homeroom card on their homepage.

  • Class teachers: Shown within their class attendance insights.

    • For class teachers, the attendance data will be specific to the class from which they are viewing it.

Note: The screenshots below show the Attendance dashboard view from the admin portal; however, the view remains the same for homeroom and class teachers as well.

The attendance tiers can be viewed across the following views:

  • Weekly

  • Monthly

  • Yearly

  • Custom range

Note: These tiers are not shown in the ‘Daily’ view, as it focuses on daily attendance records rather than cumulative trends.

  • Based on the selected attendance range, each student is placed into the appropriate tier according to their cumulative attendance percentage.

  • At the top of the dashboard, a summary view displays the number of students assigned to each tier, along with the average presence percentage for the class.

  • In the table below, a dedicated ‘Tier’ column displays each student’s attendance tier label, making it easy to track individual tiers alongside detailed attendance records.
