What Cara can do

Capturing daily attendance

  • Easy online attendance capture by teachers from their own private and secure dashboards.
  • Learner validation helps ensure that attendance is submitted for the correct learner.
  • School app administrators can capture attendance when a teacher is absent.
  • Teachers can download and print up-to-date class lists from their dashboards.

Parent notifications

  • Parents can be notified of a learner’s absence on the day it occurs, by WhatsApp or email, according to the school’s communication policy and applicable requirements.
  • The school principal can also receive a daily email with the names of absent learners and the recorded reasons for their absence.

School app administration

  • Simple, guided steps for registering learners individually or in bulk.
  • Bulk registration allows up to 200 learners to be copied at a time.
  • Simple, guided steps for deregistering learners or moving them to another class.
  • Print pre-populated hard-copy class registers whenever needed to support online attendance recording.
  • Print daily, weekly or quarterly attendance summary reports in the format required by the education department.
  • Learner attendance is archived in the cloud at the end of each term and can be retrieved easily.

Preparing for the next academic year

  • Learners who have been enrolled for the next academic year can be captured in Cara during the current year.
  • Before the new academic year begins, accepted enrolments can be imported as registered learners, helping schools have their class registers ready from day one.

Learner overview

  • A handy overview keeps administrators and staff up to date with current learner totals by class, sex and school.
  • Totals for the next academic year are also readily available, helping the school plan and forecast ahead.
