Teachers & Staff
Welcome Teachers!
Your role as a teacher is critical to encouraging student attendance. This role requires you to:
Get to know your students by name and build positive teacher-student relationships.
Record and maintain accurate attendance records.
Work with administration, school support staff, guardians, and the student to help students when attendance concerns arise.
Daily procedures
Teachers will record attendance daily in Infinite Campus for each period within the first 15 minutes of class. Use the last 15 minutes to double check attendance and make any corrections (late arrivals, students skipping, etc.).
The Attendance Office will utilize Classroom Monitor in Infinite Campus to ensure attendance is recorded in a timely manner. Repeated deviations from the procedure will be addressed with administrator support.
Submit any attendance corrections to the Attendance Office within 24 hours. Corrections must include: Student First and Last names, Student ID number, and Class Period.
