Students Section
Period
Period of the class the student was absent from. For homerooms, this field will display your attendance period name, such as AM for a morning homeroom and PM for an afternoon homeroom.
Absence
Absence for the student for the course.
Note: Your district administrator can set up the attendance package so that unlawful absences are not entered for students in certain grades or students over a minimum age. For example, your district administrator may have defined that students age 17 and older cannot be marked absent with a U (for unexcused), but students should be marked absent with a code of E (for excused). In this case, the Morning Bulletin may list a different absence code than the code you selected for a student who is 17 or more years of age. For more information about alternate accountability, refer to[ About Alternate Accountability About Alternate Accountability.
Dismiss
The time the student left the class, if the student did not attend the entire class.
Arrive
The time the student entered a class, if the student did not attend the entire class.

Indicates if the office or teacher entered the information.
Comment
