Changing a student’s attendance state

After the teacher has submitted the attendance state, they can still edit the attendance state of their students. Sometimes a teacher may have accidentally marked a student present who is absent (or vise-versa). In other cases, a student may leave class early, becoming absent. Te RIto attendance is equipped to handle either case.

Attendance for a student who leaves class early

Changing a student from present to absent when a student leaves class:

1. Click the Absent (A) button beside the student’s name.
2. Set the Selected Time to the time the student left class.
3. Click on the drop-down box beneath Reason to select a reason for the students’ absence. The comment is optional and will be seen by the Office, student, and parent.
4. Click Save. The student’s updated attendance status is sent to the office, including the time the student became absent. 

Accidentally marking a student present

If a student was accidentally marked as present in a submitted attendance sheet:

1. Click the Absent (A) button beside the student’s name
2. Select Start of Class in the Attendance Change box
3. Click Save to send the student’s updated attendance status to the office.

Note: If the attendance sheet is submitted to the office with a student accidentally marked absent when they should have been marked present, simply click P beside their name to change their attendance status to present.
