The Detention session

Rescheduling detentions for absent students

You can see if a student has a planned absence overlapping a detention session. Go to the detention session dashboard and see the Attendance mark field. The marks are also colour coded, with green indicating present, orange indicating absent with a reason, and red indicating absent with no reason given.

You can see students’ AM and PM statutory roll call marks, so you can reschedule their detention if they’ve been absent during the day. 

You can choose to send one text per household or only to primary guardians!

Dig deeper into their full attendance for the day by clicking their name.

Once you have taken attendance, you add any absentees to the next detention session by clicking the green button.

Logging behaviour
