1. In Campus Instruction, click the Attendance module on the Action Bar.  The number indicates the number of periods that need attendance entered.  Elementary teachers, including 6^th grade teachers at K-6 schools, will enter attendance for the Period that starts with H1 ONLY.  Ignore all other attendance periods that display on the screen.  DO NOT ENTER ATTENDANCE FOR ANY OTHER PERIOD.  Exception: PK teachers with ½ day PK classes will need to take attendance for their PM class as well as the AM class.

2. The attendance will open for the current period.  Click the Period that starts with H1 if it is not selected.

3. Three columns display to the right of the student names.  P=Present; A= Absent; T=Tardy.  Keep in mind, all students are considered Present by default.   

4. Click on the A for the applicable student(s) to mark each applicable student absent from class.  Once a student is marked absent, a comment can be entered. There should be an accompanying comment for ALL absences EXCEPT unexecused absences.  Also keep in mind that the comment can be viewed on the Parent Portal by users.

   1. With few exceptions, elementary teachers should not click on the T.  The T is for students who are tardy to class, not tardy to school.  When students are tardy to school and sign in at the office, the secretary will enter the tardy.

5. If the student has been marked absent or tardy for school by the office, the teacher cannot enter an absence.
