How to Update Attendance in PowerSchool

These directions are intended for Clerks and other non-instructional staff to update attendance in PowerSchool for the following reasons:

1. The student came in late after the bridge period. Their attendance needs to be updated in Daily by administrative staff.  Changes to Meeting attendance after the bridge period are not reported.

2. The attendance was not recorded by the teacher

 

STEP 1:  Select Student

Daily attendance is the reason that gets reported for the day.  Meeting attendance is a record for that particular period only.
