# How to mark daily attendance?
Attendance Management Options in WEXL ERP
WEXL ERP provides two convenient options for managing attendance:
1. **Mark as Holiday:** Designate an entire day as a holiday.
2. **Mark Attendance:** Record attendance for a class and automatically notify parents of absentees via SMS, informing them their child is absent for the day.
**Steps to Mark Attendance:**
1. On the **Teacher’s Home Page**, locate the **Attendance** tab on the left-hand side and click on it.
2. This will display a page with a list of all classes and dates.
3. To mark attendance for a specific day, click the three dots next to the respective class. A menu with two options will appear.
4. Select **Mark Attendance**, and a page showing the list of students for the class will be displayed. By default, all students are marked as present.
5. Use the **Search** feature to find a student or scroll through the list to mark absentees.
6. For flexibility, toggle between **Forenoon** and **Afternoon** filters to mark attendance based on the time of absence (e.g., if a student leaves school early due to illness).
7. Mark absent for any students who are absent and click **Save**.
8. Upon saving, an automatic SMS will be sent to the parents of absentees, informing them of their child’s absence.
9. Attendance reports are saved and can be accessed by teachers as needed.
