From the CLASSES tab, next to the class you would like to submit attendance for, click the > icon. The tab will refresh with

the list of students who are in this section/period of the selected course. 

Note: A message in the upper right corner of the screen (near the Submit button) lets you know if attendance has been taken yet or not.

For period 1, all students are P for Present, by default. Use the radio icons to mark students A (absent) or T (tardy) as needed. 

For periods 2 and beyond, students will appear as Present if they were marked present by the Period 1 teacher and will show as as Absent if reported by absent by the Period 1 teacher. 

In addition, users who have permission to submit period attendance minutes will see an additional “Minutes” column on the Period Attendance screen to specify the number of minutes the student attended the course that day/period. 

• By default, the Minutes value will default to the full course minutes as defined in the Course Catalog. 

• When a student is marked Absent, the Minutes value will default to zero (0). 

You can override or adjust the number of minutes a student was in class. For example, if a student is 5 minutes late to class and the class normally runs for 44 minutes, you would select T for the student and then change the minutes to 39. 

Click on the student icon (initials or photo to the left of a student's name) to adjust attendance.
