Taking attendance in My Classroom

My Classroom allows teachers to visually look up from the seating plan to see which students are
present or absent. Attendance can either be taken on a student-by-student basis or by selecting multiple students and applying an attendance mark.

How does taking attendance in My Classroom work?

To get started, just click the Take Attendance button.

Although you can access My Classroom for a lesson at any time, you can only take
attendance up to an hour before the lesson is due to start. Before then, the button is greyed out.
 

Planned absences are shown with an attention icon. Hover over the icon (or tap it on a tablet) to see the timeframe of the planned absence and notes.

Taking attendance

Adding marks for individual students

• Click the Take Attendance button.
• This will then bring up the Take register slide-over.

• From here you can complete the register, you'll have the ability to add absence and late codes for each student where needed. 
• When you're finished taking attendance, just click the Back button at the top of the slide-over.

Adding attendance marks in bulk

You also have the ability to add attendance marks to multiple students directly using the seating plan.
