Correct an attendance record
Records cannot be edited. Here is how a correction is made instead.
An attendance record is never changed in place. This is deliberate: a register that can be quietly rewritten is not evidence of anything, and if a parent ever asks what happened on a particular morning, you need an answer that holds up.
Instead, you record a correction. The original stays, the correction sits on top of it, and both carry the name of who made them and when.
- 1Open the student’s record and find the day.
- 2Choose Correct this record.
- 3Pick what actually happened, and give the reason.
- 4Save. The register now shows the corrected value, and the history shows both.
The reason is not busywork. It is what makes the record defensible a term later, when nobody remembers the morning.
See who arrived in your class
The gate does the counting. Your class shows who came in, and when.
See which teachers have arrived
Staff scan in at the gate too. Who is late, who has not come, and which class is waiting.

Late, absent, and the arrival cut-off
How the cut-off decides late from absent, and where to set it.
