Important things to know about teachers taking attendance:
MPC takes attendance 2x a day: 1 for the AM Session (period is AAM) and the second for the PM Session (period is APM).
Full Day Stars kids need to get attendance taken twice for full credit from the state
Attendance is taken at the K-6s in the “Attendance” class. This is during the ATT(A) period. This is for the state records.
The times for attendance will be auto calculated when a student comes in tardy to school or leaves early.
Attendance is taken at the JH is during P1(A) -- during the advisory period. This is for the state records.
Internal tracking for periods (@ MIS and JH) will be done should the teachers decide to keep up with it.
Fun note for MIS - Since your teachers are taking attendance during the ATT(A) period, if those P1 teachers want to see their records (of a full day from periods 1-10), then they’ll need to repeat their attendance from their ATT(A) period.
