Entering a Late Arrival (Front Office/Administration Staff)
This page explains the Front Office/Administration part of the two-part process for fully recording a student's late arrival at school.
Also refer to: Entering a Late Arrival (Classroom Teacher/Class Roll)
Inevitably students will from time to time arrive late to school. Their late arrival at school and to their scheduled class both need to be recorded to fully capture accurate attendance data for this event.
To enter a late arrival at the front office/reception:
Go to:
Students Profile > Attendance > Arrivals/Departures
Select:
New Arrival
Complete the necessary data fields and Save.
Explanation of Data Fields
Field | Description |
---|---|
Date/Time | Record date time of student arrival at school. |
Reason | Explanation given for Late Arrival. |
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 Late Arrival attendance records are fully accurate it is essential both the Front Office/Administration and Classroom Teacher/Roll components are fully completed.
