School: Period Attendance Dashboard

The School: Period Attendance Dashboard is used to receive Period Attendance from Teacher Plus, edit Period Attendance, and view Period Absent and Tardy totals.

Read Only users or schools who are View Only on AdminPlus.com can access the Receive Attendance Approval Center to view what has been submitted. Although you can view, approving attendance and making changes to settings have been disabled.

Edit features are only available if the AdminPlus Supervisor has requested edit from apcom@rediker.com and has selected to edit Attendance in AdminPlus.com. Schools that use Receive from File, and Scanning should continue to edit in classic until these features are added in AdminPlus.com. Period Attendance Batch Entry for a Course/Section has been added to Daily Attendance.
