In iWise there are a number of ways whole day absence records can be created:
1) | Whole day absence records can be marked on the whole day school roll on Data Entry | Attendance | Manage. This roll can be marked by either student admin staff or by individual pastoral carers or teachers. |
2) | If a parent calls to say their child won’t be at school, individual absence records can also be created via Data Entry | Attendance | Manage, using the Name field. |
3) | If your school marks the roll by period, depending on your school’s set up, whole day absence records will be created each morning as the student’s first period is marked. |
4) | Student attendance can also be recorded using the iWise Swipe screen. Swipe is ideal for recording late arrival and early leave, and depending on your school’s set up, students can swipe to record that they are present (if they don’t swipe they will be absent). |
The following pages describe how to use Data Entry | Attendance | Manage to record whole day absences, late arrival and early leave from a class or pastoral group roll, and how to record individual absences when a parent calls.
