This is an old revision of the document!
By default, all students are set to Present. For students who are tardy or absent for this date-period, mark accordingly.
As you mark students Absent or Tardy, the rows change color.
• Tardy students are shaded yellow.
• Absent students are shaded red.
If a student's absence is preposted (e.g., a scheduled band trip or a student who called in sick), the student is shaded gray, and the Attendance field displays the reason for his absence. Preposted absences are handled by the attendance clerk, so you are not able to mark attendance for the student.

• The Absent and Tardy fields are disabled during the ADA period, on the first day of school, and on the first day of enrollment.
• The Absent and Tardy fields are enabled during the ADA period if the student has a withdrawal reason of 33 (status change).
• For iTCCS users only:
• The Tardy field is not displayed if Allow Posting Tardy to ADA Period is No on the iTCCS Attendance Options (1) page.
• The Absent field is not displayed for the period if there is a period entered in Elem Tardy Period on the iTCCS Attendance Options (1) page.
• Some campuses may not allow students to be tardy during the ADA period. This is an option set by the campus. If the campus does not allow you to record tardies during the ADA period, the Tardy option is disabled.
• Some elementary campuses may not allow students to be absent during the elementary tardy period. This is an option set by the campus. If the campus does not allow you to record absences during the elementary tardy period, the Absent option is disabled.
For TxEIS users, the Tardy field is not displayed if Default Tdy Cd is blank on TxEIS Attendance > Maintenance > Grade Book Options > Campus Options.
If the district allows tardies during the ADA period, the tardies may only be valid during a set number of minutes for the period. After this number of minutes has passed, the student should no longer be marked as Tardy and should be marked as Absent, although the program does not prevent you from marking a student as Tardy (except on the first day of semester 1). The number of minutes is determined by the district (and set in the config file). If applicable, a message is displayed above the table indicating when tardies are valid.
Students who are on a track that does not meet on the selected date are listed; however, the Absent, Tardy, and Present fields are replaced by a message indicating that the date is not a membership day for the student.
Students whose first day (or reentry day) is not the official first day of school cannot be marked absent during the ADA period on their first day. The Absent option is disabled.
For Midland ISD, the Tardy field is not available. Instructors may only mark students Absent or Present.
For iTCCS districts during the mass activation, the Activate and Inactive fields are displayed instead of the Absent, Tardy, and Present fields. See the About Mass Activation section above for more information.
