Prepare earlier attendance from real records

  1. Step 1. Use the preparation/history action when earlier attendance is outside the pupil’s recorded class dates.
  2. Step 2. Confirm the class, academic year and each pupil’s actual class start date.
  3. Step 3. Save the corrected historical eligibility through the authorized workflow.
  4. Step 4. Return to the appropriate earlier school day and enter the statuses from the paper or other source register.
  5. Step 5. Add the explanation requested, confirm the day, then recheck the class calendar.

Check attendance before reports

Review missing days across the report period before preparing reports. Report attendance distinguishes recorded statuses from unrecorded days. A parent’s attendance view also depends on the school records and the child’s correct guardian link.

  • Review holidays, school breaks and weekend policy if expected days look wrong.
  • Use an explanation for unavailable days and reopen only with the correct review access.
  • Keep the original evidence for historical corrections according to the school’s own records process.
