Take attendance for a class

Steps

1. 1

   On Today, the class card lists the first students on the roster. Tap a student once for Present. Tap again for Late or Absent.

2. 2

   To mark everyone you have not marked yet as Present, select Mark rest present. Students you already marked keep their mark.

3. 3

   To use Excused or add a reason, open the class page and use the full roster. Each student has Present, Late, Absent and Excused buttons.

4. 4

   When you mark a student Absent or Excused, you can choose a reason in Add a reason (optional): Illness, Travel, Conflict, Weather or Other.

5. 5

   Each mark saves as soon as you tap it. The student’s line shows Saving… and then Saved.

6. 6

   On a computer, you can use Attendance in the Scheduling group of the sidebar. It opens a session from the day. To pick a different one, open More actions and select Choose another session. On a day with no sessions, select Choose a session. Pick the Batch and Date, choose the Session if there is more than one, then select Open attendance.

7. 7

   On the attendance sheet, set each student to Present, Late, Absent or Excused. The more menu on each row also offers Cancelled and Makeup. For an absence, excuse or cancellation you can add a reason. Once a student is marked, you can add a note on their row.

8. 8

   Select Mark unmarked present to fill in everyone left, then select Finish attendance. If some students are still unmarked, the button says how many.
