Recording Homeroom Attendance
Via the Dashboard > Homeroom > Attendance, Homeroom Advisors will see their list of assigned students to mark attendance for. Students are filtered by year group programme and sorted alphabetically by Last Name.
Note: Homeroom is a customizable term within your school's Terminology settings, so this may appear as Homeroom, Advisory, Section etc.
Click from the enabled attendance categories, such as P: Present, A: Absent, L: Late etc to record attendance. Mark individual students, or select via the dropdown to Mark All As. Click the bubble icon to leave a comment.

Homeroom Attendance Tips:
- Homeroom Attendance marked as Absent will be reflected in the student's classes for the day, to give context to class teachers.
- For IB Primary Years: If Substitute Recording has been enabled within your Attendance Settings, Homeroom Advisors will not only see those students they are assigned to, but also any student that is in a class that they are a teacher in.
- Attendance not recorded is automatically marked as Present at midnight on your school's account. This means you can just focus on those who were not Present, and update accordingly.
- If you do not find a student in your roster that you need to record attendance for, check if you are assigned as their Homeroom Advisor, either via the students profile, or via the Year Group members tab. Click to read more about Assigning Homeroom Advisors.

Class Attendance FAQs
- You will only be able to select a date according to your Class Timetable, that is, a day your class is due to take place. For example, if your class is not configured for a period on a Thursday, if you select a Thursday in the calendar it will jump to the previous/next available date to enter attendance, to avoid incorrectly entered attendance.
