Normal daily workflow

Run a PE class from mobile

Use this page during a normal PE class after setup is complete. It follows the teacher’s phone workflow from opening the session through final review.

What you’ll accomplish

Run one PE session from session detail to saved attendance and activity results.

Prerequisites

A class roster and an open PE session. Create sessions and add activities while online before class; attendance and records can be saved offline after the session is cached on the device.

Stop when

Attendance and activity records have been saved, and the session is completed when class data is ready.

Before class

Open today’s session from PE Home

Open the mobile app. PE Home shows today’s open or completed PE sessions. Tap Open Session on the session you are teaching, then verify the activities in session detail. If nothing is scheduled, create the session while online before taking attendance or entering records.

Expected result: the session detail page opens.

Use Sessions when today’s card is not visible

Tap Sessions to view Today, Open, and Completed sessions. Use this path when PE Home does not show the session you need, or select the plus button while online to create and open a same-day class session.

Use this only when needed: most class days start from PE Home.

Common mistake: looking under Today when the session is scheduled on a different date.

During class

Check the mobile session detail page

The mobile session detail page is the teacher’s class-time screen. The top area confirms the session title, class, date, status, student count, activity count, and saved-record count. An open session is ready immediately; there is no separate Start button.

Confirm class and dateCheck activity countOpen AttendanceOpen activity card

Attendance: mark Present, Tardy, Absent, or Excused, then tap Save Attendance.

Activity records: open the activity card, scan or type each student’s result. Scanner results save when the scanner closes; manual edits use Save Records.

Expected result: attendance and records can be saved while the session is open. Once completed, reopen the session before making later corrections.

Take attendance

Tap Attendance. Mark each student Present, Tardy, Absent, or Excused, or use Scan Attendance if students have QR cards. Tap Save Attendance before leaving the screen.

Save point: attendance is not final until Save Attendance is tapped.

Expected result: the session detail attendance tile updates to the saved present count.

Common mistake: closing the attendance screen before tapping Save Attendance.

Record activities

Tap an activity card such as Running Laps. Enter each student’s value, or use the scanner for lap/count activities. Running Laps uses the lap distance configured in the web settings.

Open activity cardScan or type valuesSave manual edits

Save point: QR lap/count scans are saved when the scanner closes. Typed values and manual corrections stay unsaved until Save Records is tapped.

Offline reminder: Add Activity is an online setup step. Add the activities before class while connected; offline mode is for saving attendance and records for activities already on the session.

Expected result: saved records appear in the session detail count and reports.

Common mistake: manually correcting values after scanning but leaving before tapping Save Records.

After class

Correct mistakes and complete

Before completing, reopen Attendance or the relevant activity card if a saved value looks wrong. Save the correction, then complete the session when class data is ready.

Running Kiddos mobile session detail page showing Attendance, Running Laps, and Complete Session button — COMPLETE Correct missing or wrong values from Attendance or the activity card, then complete the session.

Finish only after: attendance and records are saved for the class.

Expected result: reports use the saved attendance and activity records.
