Attendance Parameters for Teacher Deviation Method

To set up Attendance Parameters, choose Attendance, Attendance Parameters. You only need to set attendance parameters once. Here are the necessary parameters for this method:

• Select the period when homeroom attendance is taken (the first period of the day).
• Select "No Scanner".
• Select Teachers' Sheets from the How do teachers report option.
• For classes taught in more than 1 period/day, select how Attendance Totals will be reported.
• For classes taught in more than 1 period/day, select how Attendance will be entered.

Print Homeroom Attendance Sheets

Teachers must send information to the office indicating which students were absent in homeroom:

• each month, new homeroom lists must be printed for the teachers to record homeroom attendance
• Homeroom Lists may be printed in order by room number, homeroom designation, or teacher and often show the students' Student Letters
• once printed, homeroom attendance sheets need to be distributed to the teachers.

To print homeroom lists, click on Students, Print Lists, Homeroom Lists.
