To mark a student's attendance for an extended period: Search for the student > click 'Attendance' > 'Actions' > 'Mark Extended Absence'.

Enter the required information such as the attendance code, the dates/times and a note which is optional.

To exclude a student in this roll call, click the red X beside their name. To add a student, type their name in the ‘Add Student’ search bar.
