Select if you are entering a comment that will apply to the student for all periods on that date. Otherwise, you will select individual periods.
IMPORTANT: If selected, the comment applies to all periods, even if the From/To Period fields are not set to include all periods. For example, if the campus has 8 periods, but the From/To Period fields are set to periods 1-3, the comment will be applied to all 8 periods.
