The student's ID number.

Name of the student. Click on a student's name to open the Student Details drawer.

If there are alerts for the student, the alert icons display in this column.

For more information on alerts, refer to Viewing Student Alerts.

In addition to the standard alert icons that display on other Teacher Access Center pages, the Entry by List page may also display the Alternate Accountability alert. This alert displays if your school has district criteria that determine alternate accountability for attendance and the student meets those criteria. For example, if your district administrator has set up the system so that students who are at least 17 years old are never unlawfully absent, then displays for students who are at least 17 years old. If you enter an absence code that has an alternate accountability code, the alternate accountability code will be stored. For more information on alternate accountability, refer to About Alternate Accountability.

Indicates if the student was present. Your school determines whether an attendance code is stored when you mark a student present.

Typically, it is not necessary to check this box unless you are clearing attendance that you previously entered. Refer to your building attendance policies to determine if you are required to mark students who are present.

Did the P box change from checked to unchecked after you clicked Save ? Your school does not store an attendance code for the P box. In this case, you only need to mark a student present if you are correcting attendance that you previously entered for the student. For example, assume that you had marked a student absent and saved attendance. When the student showed up to class a few minutes later, you would check the P box if you wanted to remove the absence code you had entered. After you save, the student will have no box checked on the Entry by List page.
