Main
Column Headers
Student - Student Name (The student's name will turn yellow when marked absent. It is not easy for Teachers to quickly tell who is currently absent. Especially in the afternoon when there are many tardies posted earlier, checkins, and start of the day, and skips. Teachers need an easy way to tell at a glance who is absent on the post attendance screen.)
1st - Click 1st period to show student as absent. If a student is marked homebound, their name will be shaded red. When you click on the 1st Period or Out boxes, this box will appear and will show the homebound information. From Date and To Date and ask if the user wants to Post Anyway.
