Detailed Attendance
Detailed Attendance (Simple View) is the default view.
Your student's schedule is displayed. The date appears in the column heading only if your student was marked absent or tardy for any period during that day.
If your student was present and on time for the entire day, nothing appears for the date.
If your student was not present for the entire class, a code appears for the period and date. A description of each code is displayed in the Legend.
Simple/Detailed View
The Simple view is selected by default, which displays the four main absence types:
- Unexcused Absence (U)
- Tardy (T)
- Excused Absence (E)
- School Related (S)
❏ Click or tap the Simple button to toggle to Detailed view where you can see more specific information for an absence, such as whether a doctor note or field trip notice is on file for that absence.
All applicable codes are listed in the Legend.
❏ Click or tap the Detailed button to return to Simple view.
MOBILE DEVICE USERS: On a mobile device, if you have numerous absences, you may need to tap a row to open the Details view in order to see all absences for a particular class.
Calendar View
❏ Click or tap Calendar View.
All months for the selected semester are displayed.
If your student was not present for the entire class for any period of the day, the day is shaded on the calendar according to the legend.
NOTE: If your student had multiple types of absences on the same date (such as a tardy and an unexcused absence), the date will be shaded according to the most severe absence type. For example, “Unexcused Absence” is the most severe (red), and “School Related” is the least severe (blue).
❏ Click or tap the date to view details for that date.
The detailed date view opens in place of the month.
For each period your student was absent or tardy, the attendance code and description are displayed and color coded according to severity of the absence. The period is only listed if your student was marked absent or tardy for that period.
❏ Click [X] to close the detail view.
The full month is again displayed.
Totals View
Click or tap Totals View.
Your student's classes are listed by period, and the total number of excused absences, unexcused absences, school-related absences (e.g., UIL events or field trips), and tardies for the selected semester are listed.
The Total Absences column displays semester totals for all absence types, excluding tardies.
