Take morning attendance on the board, step by step

This is the daily routine for the office. Families who already used their link show up on the board by themselves. You only handle the rest.

Steps

1. Go to Front office. You land on This morning.
2. Look at Out and Late or leaving early. These came from families or from the desk. Nothing to do.
3. Scroll to Everyone else. To narrow a big list, type in Find a student or pick a Grade or class, then click Filter.
4. If a parent called, find the student. Under Office heard by phone, pick Sick, Late, Early pickup, or Other, then click Record. The student moves to Out or Late.
5. If a student is missing and nobody called, click Mark absent. The student moves to Unaccounted.
6. Work the Unaccounted card until it says Everyone is accounted for.

Fix a mistake

• Marked the wrong student absent? Click Undo mark next to them in Unaccounted.
• Recorded the wrong reason, or a report came in by mistake? Click Clear next to the student in Out or Late and confirm. Then record it again.

Good to know

• After you mark a student absent, the family is asked automatically once if nobody reports within the wait time. The default is 10 minutes.
• Teachers taking class attendance in Classes feed the board too.
• A student signed in late at the desk shows as late on the board.
• Every mark, undo, and clear is logged with your name.
