Taking Daily & Period Attendance

Daily Attendance is taken in 1st Period or Homeroom classes and is automatically synced to eSIS. Period Attendance is not synced with eSIS, but is available to office staff through their ProgressBook login

20 - Choosing Daily Attendance

From the Teacher Home Page (or main Grade Book page), click the Daily Attendance (HR) link under the Features section.

21 - Taking & Submitting Daily Attendance

On the Daily Attendance page, mark students absent that are not present by the time determined by your Principal. Make sure to click Save, even if you don't have any students absent

22 - Choosing Period Attendance

To choose Period Attendance, you must first choose a class. Next, click on the Period Attendance link under Classroom Administration section.
NOTE - First period MS/HS teachers will need to submit Daily Attendance as well as take Period Attendance in ProgressBook. Daily Attendance turned into the office by syncing with eSIS, but teachers are still required to track period attendance in their grade book.

23 - Taking Period Attendance

The Period Attendance screen looks & works like the Daily Attendance screen, and also shows students that were marked absent by the HR teacher.
