Summary:
After the e-learning work deadline has passed, teachers need to update historical classroom attendance based on their completion of work. As a teacher, you are only changing students to absent for those who did not complete work. Students who did work (or participated) are kept present (blank) like a normal day of school.
Warning:
You are only adjusting attendance for classes you assigned work during an E-Learning day and the student did not complete it. Do not adjust “advisory/study hall/attendance/lunch” classes attendance unless specifically instructed to do so.
Steps:
Log into Powerschool for teachers
Click on the take attendance chair icon for the class you need to now edit
In the “date” dropdown, choose the appropriate date that you need to change. For our example, we’ll choose Friday, Jan 12th since that’s the day that the work was assigned.
After the screen refreshes, you can then change the student’s attendance by changing the attendance code to Absent, then clicking on the dropdown next to each student’s name, or changing each student individually from [present] to absent.
Optionally, you can also add a comment to indicate a reason for why the absent was changed by clicking on the comment box next to the attendance code.
When done, click submit to submit the attenadance code change and the optional comment for that day.
