What Educators Are Saying
Trusted by lecturers and students across Sri Lankan universities
"This tool saves me so much time every week. I log all late arrivals in one place, and the PDF export is perfect for parent meetings. The alert threshold feature is a real game changer."
"We used to track tardiness on paper and it was chaos. With this tracker I can instantly see which students are approaching the alert threshold and act before it becomes a formal problem."
"The minutes-late calculation is brilliant — it automatically computes how late each student was from school start time. The colour-coded alert badges make it very easy to prioritise cases."
"Clean, fast, and reliable. I use it every Monday morning to compile the week's late arrivals and share a PDF with the discipline committee. Highly recommended for any school admin team."

Understanding Late Arrival Tracking
Punctuality Rate
((Total Days – Late Days) ÷ Total Days) × 100
Measures the percentage of days a student arrived on time. A rate above 95% is excellent; below 85% warrants a formal review or parent notification.
Tardiness Classification
Warning → 50–99% of threshold
Critical → ≥ 100% of threshold
Thresholds vary by institution — commonly 3–5 late arrivals per term. Exceeding the threshold typically triggers a formal parent notification or intervention.
Cumulative Late Minutes
Σ (Arrival Time − School Start Time)
across all late entries
Research shows that 10 late arrivals of 15 minutes each equals 2.5 hours of missed instruction — a significant academic risk factor that compounds over the year.
