This page explains the Front Office/Administration part of the two-part process of fully recording a student's late arrival at school.
Also refer to: Entering a Early Departure (Classroom Teacher/Class Roll)
Inevitably students will, from time to time, need to leave class/school early. Their early departure from school and to their scheduled class both need to be recorded to fully capture accurate attendance data for this event.
To enter an Early Departure at the front office/reception:
Go to:
Students Profile > Attendance > Arrivals/Departures
Select:
New Departure
Complete the necessary data fields and Save.
Explanation of Data Fields
Field | Description |
|---|---|
Date/Time | Record the date and time of student departing school. |
Reason | Explanation given for early departure |
Notes | Any additional information you would like to record |
Categories | Select from the absence categories set up and approved by your school/department. |
Arrival is school approved | Click this box to mark the absence as School Approved, meaning the absence will not count towards any government attendance calculations. E.g. a student was attending an off site event representing the school and whilst they were not physically at school during this time the absence will not affect their government attendance results. |
To ensure all Early Departure attendance records are fully accurate it is essential both the Front Office/Administration and Classroom Teacher/Roll components are fully completed.
