The Discipline Points System is a system that provides the user a way to track student activity automatically as it relates to discipline and attendance. Additionally, the user can manually add/remove points to a single student, or perform this task to a group of students. Each Wednesday night, the JCampus system will update the points earned/lost by the student as a result of discipline and attendance activity.
The Points System is where the user goes to do activities such as:
- Setup the automatic points calculation based on attendance and discipline of the student.
- Setup the Item Maintenance for items that can be redeemed for points.
- Individually work with a student to review or edit points.
