Attendance
Attendance
Attendance is taken daily at the start of class through the Toddle Portal. All students should be synced automatically to your roster. Review the attendance policy here.
You can mark all students present at once or mark attendance individually with the following options: Present, Absent, Arrived Late, Left Early, Excused (acceptable absence), Disengaged (present but not participating at all), or Not on Camera. If you select any option other than Present or Absent, include a brief note (e.g. AL with a note stating the student arrived at 10:20).
Onboarding Task: Click on attendance in your Training class and hover over the attendance options. Also, click on the Training Student and look at the tabs of the student profile. Add a teacher's note in the student profile.
