Taking attendance

Sidebar → Attendance. Available to Form Masters and administrators — a subject teacher without a form class will not see it.

Marking the register

Pick the class and the date, then mark each student. Save when you are done.

Attendance is recorded per day, and it feeds three places automatically:

• each student's attendance percentage on their report card
• the at-risk list on the Dashboard and in Analytics, for anyone below the threshold your school set
• what parents see in the parent portal

Correcting a mistake

Go back to the same class and date and change it. The stored total is worked out from the daily records, so a correction flows through to the report card and the parent portal without anything else needing to be done.

Getting it in late

Attendance is dated, not stamped with when you typed it. Marking Monday's register on Wednesday records it against Monday, which is what you want. Do still catch up promptly — a parent looking at the portal on Tuesday sees a gap.
