Recording Student Attendance

This selection cannot be used until the Term Start/End Dates and Non-Student Dates are entered with the SetUp menu | Term Dates selection. Up to 16 weeks per term are available if the semester includes 2 or 3 terms. The college semester allows up to 20 weeks. Up to 12 weeks per term are available with the block 4 schedule.

Elementary teachers must record their attendance information in the first class in which the student is enrolled (usually the first class).

After selecting the class from the combo box, the student names will be displayed. Each column represents one day. When the cursor is on the correct column (day/date) and correct row, a letter key can be pressed to mark absences or tardies for a student. An absence or tardy will not be recorded for a Non-Student day. To erase a mark, press the space bar when the cursor is in the proper edit box, or select the Erase button, and click the appropriate edit box.

The letters AHEXSM and U are all included when calculating student absences. The other codes are printed on the absence reports but not included in the absence totals. The text for the codes X, M, P, Q, and Z are entered with the SetUp menu | Teacher Settings selection. Click the Save button to save your information. Click the Abort Changes button to abandon any recorded or revised information. Information recorded with this menu selection is printed with the PrintOut menu | Attendance selection.
