Signing Out and In with TYRO

TYRO’s student sign-in / sign-out process is essentially an attendance workflow that records when a student is physically entering or leaving school during the day and updates their attendance record accordingly. The exact screens and permissions vary by school because TYRO is configurable, but the typical process in Irish schools works like this: (tyro.school)

1. Planned absence / early departure (parent side)

A parent or guardian usually submits a request in advance through the TYRO app:

• Open the student profile

• Go to Absence Request

• Create a request

• Enter the reason and time/date

• Submit it to the school office for review (support.tyro.school)

Example:

Student has a dentist appointment at 11:30 → parent submits early departure request in TYRO.

2. Office approval / attendance setup

School administration receives the request and can:

• approve or review it

• add notes

• mark attendance appropriately

• prepare for an early sign-out if required

TYRO supports attendance management and parent communication through the same system. (tyro.school)

3. Student signs out when leaving

When the student physically leaves:

• they normally report to reception/office

• office staff record the departure in TYRO

• the system timestamps the event

• attendance status changes (for example: present until a certain time, then left early)

Schools may require:

• office staff action only, or

• student self-service on a kiosk/device (depending on school setup)

This creates an audit trail of:

• who left

• what time

• authorisation status

• reason (if recorded)

4. Student signs back in (if returning)

If the student returns:

• they check back through reception

• office records sign-in

• TYRO updates attendance for remaining classes/day

Example:

• Leaves 10:45 → orthodontist

• Returns 12:20 → office signs student back in

• Afternoon classes remain marked attended.

5. What teachers see

Teachers generally see attendance updates in their class lists and can take attendance based on current student status through TYRO’s attendance tools. (Google Play)

Why schools use sign-in/sign-out

It helps with:

• safeguarding (knowing who is on site)

• legal attendance records

• fire / evacuation lists

• parent communication

• reducing manual office paperwork

If your school uses TYRO specifically (for example, Gairmscoil Chú Uladh), there may also be local rules layered on top of the software (permission slips, student cards, year-group restrictions, etc.).
