Attendance

Tawaasal lets you view your daily attendance record and submit leave requests when you need to be absent from school.

Viewing Your Attendance​

  1. Navigate to My Attendance from the sidebar.
  2. You will see your attendance history showing each school day and your status.
  1. The Attendance History page.
  2. My Attendance in the sidebar.
  3. Go to the previous month.
  4. Go to the next month.

Each day's record shows:

  • Date
  • Status — One of the following:
    • Present — You were in school.
    • Absent — You were not in school and no approved leave was recorded.
    • Late — You arrived after the expected time. Your arrival time is recorded.
    • Excused — You had an approved absence (linked to an approved leave request).
Check Regularly

Review your attendance record regularly to make sure it is accurate. If you believe there is an error, speak with your teacher or school administrator.

Understanding Your Attendance Summary​

Your attendance page may include a summary showing:

  • Total days in the period.
  • Number of days present, absent, late, and excused.
  • Your overall attendance percentage.

A strong attendance record is important for your academic progress.

Submitting a Leave Request​

If you know you will be absent from school, you can submit a leave request in advance:

  1. Navigate to Leave Requests from the sidebar.
  2. Click the Submit Leave Request button.
  3. Fill in the details:
    • Start Date — The first day of your absence.
    • End Date — The last day of your absence.
    • Reason Category — Select the most appropriate reason:
      • Illness
      • Medical Appointment
      • Family Emergency
      • Religious Observance
      • Vacation/Travel
      • Other
    • Reason Details — Provide a clear explanation for your absence.
  4. Attachments (optional) — Upload supporting documents such as a medical certificate.
  5. Click Submit.
  1. The Leave Requests page.
  2. Submit Leave Request opens the leave request form.
  3. Filter your requests by status.
Guardian Submissions

Your school may require that leave requests are submitted by a guardian rather than by students. Check your school's policy. If you cannot submit a request, ask your guardian to do so through their Tawaasal account.

Tracking Your Leave Request​

After submitting a leave request, you can check its status:

  • Pending — Your request is waiting to be reviewed.
  • Approved — Your request has been approved. The relevant attendance days will be marked as Excused.
  • Rejected — Your request was not approved. You can see the reason for rejection.
  • Cancelled — You cancelled the request before it was reviewed.

Cancelling a Leave Request​

If your plans change and you no longer need the leave:

  1. Find the leave request in your list.
  2. Click Cancel (only available for requests with Pending status).

Tips​

  • Submit leave requests early — The sooner you request leave, the more time the school has to plan.
  • Provide accurate details — Clear explanations and supporting documents help your request get approved quickly.
  • Check for overlapping dates — You cannot submit a leave request for dates that overlap with an existing pending or approved request.
  • Talk to your teacher — If you have been marked absent incorrectly, let your teacher know so they can correct the record.
