Taking Attendance

Record attendance for each lesson directly from the calendar.

Last updated: September 6, 2026

1. 1

   Click on a lesson

   On the Schedule calendar, click the lesson you want to record attendance for. A popover will appear with the lesson details.

2. 2

   Click Take Attendance

   Click Take Attendance at the bottom of the popover. If attendance has already been recorded, the popover button says Edit Attendance instead — the panel title is still Take Attendance.

3. 3

   Set each student's status

   The panel lists each student. Expand a student and use Attendance Status to choose:
   
   Billable: Present, Late, or Absent (marked billable)
   Not billable: Excused, Absent (marked not billable), or Canceled
   
   Both absence options are labeled Absent — the billable / not billable pill tells them apart.

4. 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.

5. 5

   Save

   Click Save Attendance. You'll see Attendance saved. The panel advances to the next student if there are more to record.
