Report: Attendance


Introduction

The Attendance report documents days and hours spent schooling. You can print an Attendance report for any date range and choose to show or hide the Attendance Hours you are tracking with Time Spent, Sessions or Manual Hours in the attendance entries. Each Student's attendance will be displayed on a separate page.

On any date, the report will show:

  • P - to indicate 'Present'
  • 1/2 - to indicate 'Present 1/2 Day'
  • A - to indicate Absent
  • blank - to indicate no Attendance record for that date
