K-12 Classroom Attendance on the Kiosk

The kiosk can be used for taking attendance within K-12 classrooms. When a K-12 teacher who has permission to the Take Attendance screen logs into the kiosk, the screen is defaulted to the Classroom Attendance mode. Students can scan their ID badge (via barcode/RFID) or manually enter their student ID. The kiosk recognizes the period based upon the time the student scans in. Upon scanning in, a kiosk attendance entry record is created for the student, using the first presence code (lowest Sort Order) as set up in Attendance Setup. Students who do not scan in during the period are given the first absence attendance code. These attendance codes are pre-filled when the teacher views the Take Attendance screen in the List or Seating Chart view. Student attendance records are not officially updated until the teacher reviews attendance and clicks Save on the Take Attendance screen.

The Classroom Attendance feature is not available for CTE/Post-Secondary schools.
