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.
