Student taps at the gate
A card reader at the entrance logs each tap with a timestamp. The first tap of the day is the arrival; the last one is the exit.
Gate-tap attendance · SMS to parents
Know your child made it to school. Every morning.
Students tap a card at the gate. Fobba records the time, marks them present, late or absent, and texts parents the moment their ward walks in — or out.
