Entry by List Page

Use the Entry by List page (Attendance > List) to add and view attendance information for students in your classes.

If attendance has already been entered for the student by the office, O displays in the Office column. Move your pointer over the O to see the attendance information. If there is an office entry that is incorrect, contact the attendance clerk so the clerk can correct absence information.

Entry by List grid fields

Office

Displays O (Letter O in red text) in this column if an office entry exists for the student for this period. Move your pointer over the O to see the attendance information that was entered.

A (Absent)

Indicates if the student was absent.

Click this box to insert or remove a check. Checking the Absent checkbox marks the selected student as absent for the specified date.

To check the Absent checkbox for all students, enter a check in the checkbox in the A column heading

Note: To remove a checkmark from the A box, you must enter a check in the P box which removes the absence and marks the student present.

T (Tardy)

Indicates if the student was tardy. This field displays only if your building administrator selected a default code to enter as tardy.

Click this box to insert or remove a check. Checking the Tardy checkbox marks the selected student as tardy for the specified date.

To check the Tardy checkbox for all students, enter a check in the checkbox in the T column heading.

Note: To remove a checkmark from the T box, you must enter a check in the P box which removes the absence and marks the student present.

P (Present)

Indicates if the student was present. Your school determines whether an attendance code is stored when you mark a student present.

Typically, it is not necessary to check this box unless you are clearing attendance that you previously entered. Refer to your building attendance policies to determine if you are required to mark students who are present. 

Did the P box change from checked to unchecked after you clicked Save ? Your school does not store an attendance code for the P box. In this case, you only need to mark a student present if you are correcting attendance that you previously entered for the student. For example, assume that you had marked a student absent and saved attendance. When the student showed up to class a few minutes later, you would check the P box if you wanted to remove the absence code you had entered. After you save, the student will have no box checked on the Entry by List page.
