Add Student & Staff Attendance

The Attendance Management module allows schools to mark, update, and track daily attendance for both students and staff. It ensures accurate attendance records and helps monitor presence efficiently.

The Add Student Attendance feature is used to mark daily attendance for students and staff based on class, section, or category.
