Recording attendance in SIMS

[user20]

Hello all,

 

When you are marking a student on the reg at a future date e.g a pupil has to attend a pre planned medical appt, how do you save a future mark without sims marking other students absent?

 

Basically a teacher in our school had to mark a pupil in their form group as medical appt (code M) tomorrow morning so they clicked into the register for tomorrow from their Timeline on the homepage and then pit code M against the respective student and then she clicked save and it said something like "all othet students will be marked absent, do you wish to continue?" Is there anyway you can go into a register and only mark one student without it marking the others as anything?

 

Also, how can form teachers pre mark a student in other teachers lessons? Say a child is off ill for the day is there anyway that the form teacher for that child can enter them a mark for the whole day aswell as their registration mark?

 

Thanks

You would enter marks for individuals via the Edit Marks menu route rather than the register. This way you can see all that student's marks for the day/week including lesson marks if you use Lesson Monitor. Usually, office staff do these as they usually get the phone calls about it, but a school can decide to give class teacher these permissions if needed.
