Attendance Tool

What Does It Do?

Allows you to take attendance for your classes.

Add the "Attendance" tool, if not already done.
Click "Attendance" in the left tool menu.
Click "Take Attendance Now." It will create a new attendance item for the current date and time.
For each student, click the appropriate radio button (Present, Absent, Excused, etc.). The tool auto-saves your attendance selections.
- TIP: Use the "Mark displayed students as" drop-down menu to quickly mark all students as "Present." You can then change the status for students that are absent, late, etc. This is a real time saver!
(Optional) Click the speech bubble icon to add a comment, such as "excused athletics event" or "great contribution to class discussion today." Click "Save" to record your comment for the student.
To verify your selections, click the refresh icon next to the "Attendance Item Statistics" heading at the bottom of the page.
Important Note: There is no "Submit" or "Confirm" button. Instead return to the main menu by clicking on the ATTENDANCE page title at the top of the page (see screenshot below).

Click the "Attendance by Student" button in the menu at the top of the window.
From here, you can observe the current statistics of student attendance since the first recorded entry.

Click "Settings" in the menu at the top of the tool window.
Reorder labels by dragging and dropping. Click on the move icon (3-line icon) to the right of each label to reposition them.
(Optional) Deselect checkboxes to remove labels from listings.
Click "Save Settings" at the bottom of the window to finish.
