Effect of Multiple Bell Schedules on Registration and Attendance

If your building uses multiple bell schedules, Registration and Attendance processes will change as indicated in the following sections.

Registration Processing

The House/Team field on the Registration page's Building (current year), Summer School, or Next Year panel (Registration > Entry & Reports > Student Demographic > Registration) limits its selections to house/teams defined in the building's Scheduling Building Configuration.
Once a student is scheduled, you can change the house/team assignment if needed. However, the new house/team must share the same Bell Schedule. If not, you will be prompted to drop the student's existing schedule or cancel the new house/team selection.
The Homeroom Assignment by Period option (Registration > Utilities > Tools > Homeroom Assignment by Period) does not prompt for Bell Schedule. However, depending on the Scheduling Periods attached to each Bell Schedule, you might want to use a Filter that uses Demographic as the Area and House/Team as the Field Name.
Registration Assignment (Registration > Utilities > Tools > Registration Assignment) will enable access to the Bell Schedule field when you choose to update the House/Team, Summer School House/Team or Next Year House/Team fields. After entering a Bell Schedule, you can only select a house/team associated with the selected Bell Schedule in the Values field.

All dismiss times and arrive times are validated against the timetable associated with the student's house/team. This validation occurs in Teacher Access Center, as well as all methods of attendance entry in eSchoolPlus.
Valid Attendance Periods for a day are validated against the timetable associated with the student's house/team. This occurs in all methods of entry as well as the Error Scan and the Day Totals and Notifications calculations.
The minutes calculated as part of the Day Totals calculation will be based on the student's timetable.
