CMS Widget - Parent/Student Attendance Entry
The Parent/Student Attendance Entry
CMS Widget
enables parents and students to proactively report daily and/or period attendance. It is also used to record tardies for students who come in late.
This feature is especially beneficial for instances where a student anticipates absence due to illness, vacation, or other reasons, as well as for notifying the school of planned tardiness or early departures. It ensures the school is informed in advance about a student's attendance status for any given day, facilitating better communication and planning.
Note
: The
Daily Rotation
must be specified as “in school” in order for attendance to be recorded successfully. If the parent chooses a date that isn't considered in school, then no attendance is recorded for that division.
The following table provides various uses and settings of this CMS widget.
Note
: ‘X' refers to the scenario where the setting is applicable.
