As soon as you open a session event, the students within that session are automatically marked as present. There are three different options for recording absences: individual, group, and whole day absences. 

Marking an Individual Student as Absent: 

  1. Open a session event.
  2. Select your student from the left-hand side under Students.
  3. Click 'Actions' and then 'Mark Absent.'
  4. Choose the reason for absence using the drop down options, or select 'other' for a customized reason. This information will then appear in the student's attendance report.

Marking a Group of Students Absent: 

  1. On the daily data agenda, click the 'Actions' button in the right-hand corner of your session event.
  2. Select 'Mark all Absent.'
  3. Specify the reason for absence, such as fire drill or holiday. Alternatively, choose 'Other' for a custom reason.

Marking a Whole Day Absent: 

To mark all students absent on a given day:

  1. Go to the daily data agenda, and head to the 'Actions' button at the top.
  2. Select 'Mark Full Day Absent.'
  3. Indicate the reason for absence. Note that the students' names will change to orange to signify that they are absent. 

Change a Student from Absent to Present: 

To mark a student recorded as absent to present, follow these steps:

  1. Open the session event for your student.
  2. Select your student from the left-hand side under Students.
  3. Click 'Actions' and then 'Mark Present.'
  4. Delete any absence notes recorded under the Student tab.
