How do I take attendance?

There are two ways to take attendance: you can take attendance using an existing attendance item, or use the Take Attendance Now button to create a new item.

Take attendance for an existing item.

Select an existing attendance item from the Take Attendance page.

The attendance table with a list of your students will open.

For each student, you have the option of selecting one of the following statuses: Present, Absent, Excused, Late or Left Early.

Status options can be modified from the Attendance tool's Settings tab.

To mark all students with the same status, click on the Mark displayed students as dropdown menu and select a status.

You can adjust individual student statuses by clicking on the appropriate radio button next to their name.

Once you have selected a status for a student, the attendance record will save automatically. If you have made individual adjustments to student records, you will need to reload the page to see the data update in the Attendance Item Statistics chart at the top of the page.
