The Verification Sheets feature gives admin and teachers the ability to confirm, print, and verify (sign) attendance, which can be a great asset for auditing purposes and state reporting. In addition, the same sheets can be transformed into a roster for a substitute to easily take attendance.
Hidden Students are not included in Verification Sheets and Sub Rosters. Students can be flagged and unflagged as Hidden from Student Info (as long as the district has enabled the field in Student Fields).
1. From the Attendance menu, click Verification Sheets/Sub Rosters.

5. Select a Mode.
If using as attendance verification, select One page per class. This selection will break up attendance by class.
If using as a sub roster, select One page per day per class (with empty Absent / Present / Tardy columns); this will allow for the sub to fill in the blanks (take attendance) as needed.

6. You can also choose from the Extra section.
You can include Page Breaks between each section for each course.
You can Print school name, which will include the school name at the top of the page next to the teacher's name. This ensures that the school name is prominently displayed, making the sheets more informative and easier to use.
You can Print teacher signature lines; this extra can be helpful if using for state reporting and/or auditing purposes.
Hide empty classes (i.e. classes without any assigned students): This option is useful when a teacher has a placeholder class with no enrolled students.
Use FTE Period: FTE windows must be set up by the district for this option to apply FTE dates to data being pulled into the Verification Sheets. The report displays FTE periods and ADA Overrides when Use FTE Period is selected. Note: This selection was customized for Texas.
Show classes that don’t take attendance: This option is useful for specials in Elementary school or Study Hall in Secondary school where a substitute will need to know who should be in the class regardless of whether or not attendance is taken.
Do not display Student IDs: Select the check box to hide student ID number when generating verification sheets or sub rosters.
Include Room Number: Select the check box to print the room number in the header of the sheet/roster.
Print Student Alert Icons: Select the check box to display alert icons on the printed verification sheets. Note: The alerts printed on the sheets must first be set up via Setup > Edit Rules & Workflow > Alert Icons tab and must be enabled so teachers have permission to view them; i.e. select the applicable Teacher profiles from the Profiles pull-down.
Date columns per course period: Enter the number of date columns that you would like to print. The column defaults to 14; overflow days generate on additional pages.
Student Name Format: Select the Student Name Format from the pull-down to determine how student names display in the report.
