MyAT:
MyAT, or My Attendance Tracker is the fourth free web site reviewed here to maintain attendance records online. As the name itself suggests, this website is primarily meant to record and save attendance data of your student. Unlike above-given sites, this site does not let you maintain other records. All you can do is create a classroom, add students in it, and record their attendance. There is no limit to the number of students that can be added, or the number of classrooms you can create. So, the website proves to be really helpful. You can also get in touch with the parents of these students and talk to them via messages.
While you are recording the attendance, there is a calendar and three options available against every student name: Present, Absent, and Tardy. You can mark the relevant option and save the data. The statistics for that particular day are then shown on the calendar. Try it out from the link given above.

Even the attendance can be taken separately for different subjects. First you have to add students, and then record attendance for every student separately.

Since, you can maintain attendance for every subject, there are multiple slides for every student for one day; you can save it all in your account. Try it out from above.
