Scenario: We just had an eLearning day on Friday, 1/12. It’s the 3rd day after we returned to school, so you’ve been instructed to go change Friday, January 12th’s attendance to an absent for those students who didn’t complete their eLearning work for your class.
You will want to avoid the “non graded” classes, such as advisory/study hall/attendance, unless instructed to do so.
Log into Powerschool for teachers
For the class that you need to navigate to the normal attendance page.
In the “date” dropdown, choose the appropiate 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.
