Know what they knew.
Know what they learned.
Every class.
A simple classroom routine: students complete a Punch In at the start of class and a Punch Out at the end. You get real-time completion data, confidence trends, response summaries, attendance context, and class-level reporting — without another giant platform to run.
How it works
Four steps, every class period.
Punch In
Students answer a quick prompt as class begins.
Teach
You teach the lesson — PunchClock waits.
Punch Out
Students respond and rate their confidence.
See What Changed
Review summaries and who needs support.
Features
Everything you need to check in — and nothing you don't.
PunchClock stays focused on the few minutes at the start and end of class, so the rest of your teaching stays yours.
Daily entry & exit tickets
A quick Punch In to start class and a Punch Out to close it — every day, every section.
Multiple class sections
Manage all of your sections in one place, each with its own roster and schedule.
Scheduled availability windows
Tickets open and close automatically based on your bell schedule — no manual toggling.
Confidence tracking
Students self-rate their confidence on the way out, so you can spot who's unsure.
Attendance context
Mark students absent or exempt so missing punches never read as missing learning.
Teacher proxy submissions
Submit on a student's behalf when a device is unavailable — no one gets locked out.
Audio responses
Let students talk through their thinking with secure, teacher-gated audio responses.
Archive & reporting tools
Close out tickets, archive old responses, and pull class-level reports when you need them.
AI-assisted questions & summaries
Generate ticket prompts and get concise summaries of what your class understood.
Why PunchClock
Formative assessment should be a habit, not a project.
PunchClock is designed to make formative assessment routine without becoming another giant instructional platform. It lives in the two or three minutes at the edges of your lesson — a prompt on the way in, a reflection on the way out — and gives you a quick, honest read on the room. No content library to curate, no curriculum to migrate, no new workflow to manage. Just a small, reliable ritual that helps you decide what to do next.
Built with student privacy in mind.
PunchClock is designed to keep classroom data tight and access controlled. Here is exactly how it works — stated plainly, without claims we can't back up.
Private by default
Student responses are stored privately and are not exposed publicly.
Authorized audio access
Audio responses are served through time-limited signed URLs, only when a teacher opens them.
AI features are admin-gated
Credit-consuming AI tools run behind teacher-gated backend functions, not in the open browser.
No selling of data
PunchClock does not sell student data to third parties.
This describes PunchClock's technical design choices. It is not a certification or a guarantee of regulatory compliance. Schools are responsible for reviewing any classroom tool against their own policies and applicable laws before use.
Start the next class with a punch.
Set up your sections, schedule your windows, and let the first and last minutes of class tell you what your students need.
