Set each student's status
The attendance panel lists each student in the lesson. Click on a student to expand their card and choose a status:
Billable: Present, Late, Absent (billable)
Not billable: Absent (not billable), Excused, Canceled
Each status is labeled as either billable or not billable so you know how it affects the family's billing. - 4
Add notes (optional)
You can add Staff Notes (visible to all teachers and staff) or Private Notes (visible only to admins) for each student.

Save
Click Save Attendance. You'll see a confirmation: Attendance saved. The panel will auto-advance to the next student if there are more to record.
Tips
- •The lesson popover shows a progress indicator (e.g., "2 of 3 completed") so you can quickly see how many students still need attendance recorded.
- •You need the "Take Attendance" permission to record attendance. Admins always have this permission.
