Sometimes a student may be absent for two or more separate periods during the course of a school day. The following steps show you how to add additional absences to a student's Roll for the day in question. For e.g. a student may arrive late and then leave early; or a student may have had a partial absence in the morning between 10am-11am and then had to leave early at 2pm
Adding multiple absences in one day
- Select the >Attendance tab;
- From the left-hand green menu, select your -Year Level and -Class
- Locate the student that needs an additional absence added
- With your mouse, hover over the absence that is listed for e.g. P-A (P-A denotes Partial Absence and will be in place of a green tick)
- When you hover over P-A, you will see a pop-up window showing you the details of the absence, in the lower right-hand side of the pop-up window, click on the green +plus icon
- You can now add an additional absence for the student
- Once added, you will see that in line with the student's name, you will see two P-A codes listed - this denotes that there are two absences for the student in question
Note
If you have made an error, you can delete the recorded absence by selecting the red -minus icon in the pop-up window at any time.
