Marking & Verifying Attendance

Attendance hours should be entered DAILY Monday – Friday by the Caretaker. Caretakers lose access to the attendance log 48 hours after the close of the previous week and any changes must then be requested through the student’s homeroom teacher.

 

The attendance log allows up to eight (8) student attendance hours to be entered each day.

 

If a student is not completing lessons Monday - Friday, the Caretaker MUST enter zero (0) hours. Caretakers should enter between one (1) and eight (8) hours for all days where a student is completing lessons. Attendance hours may be entered on Saturday or Sunday if lessons are being completed but logging attendance hours on the weekend is not required.

 

Attendance hours are a legal record of school attendance and entering these hours should be taken seriously and be part of the school day for the Caretaker. Designated staff will regularly check the student’s attendance records. If hours are entered for a certain day, but no lesson completion can be verified, the hours will be changed to an unexcused absence.

 

Please use the resources provided to assist with marking attendance.
