Adding an Attendance Note via the App

Adding an Attendance Note via the App

Overview

Staff are able to add Attendance Notes for students via the Compass School Manager App.

They can do this from within a roll or by searching the student and viewing their profile.


Adding an Attendance Note via the Roll

From the class page, tap on Mark the Roll. Then within the roll, tap the student's name and then tap 'Add Attendance Note'.

               

Select the Reason, add a comment if applicable in the Details/Comment field, set the correct dates and times and then tap 'Add Attendance Note'. 


     

Note: You do not have to be in a roll from the date the Attendance Note relates to, you only need to be in a roll that the student is listed in.  


Adding an Attendance Note via a Student Profile

Alternatively in the App, instead of adding an Attendance Note from within a Roll, you can tap on the magnifying glass icon and search for a student.

     

Tap on the student in your search results and then this will take you to their profile.  Go across to their Attendance tab and then to the 'Notes' sub tab and tap the blue plus icon to add an Attendance Note.
