In Attendance by Photo mode, each student's photo displays with overlaid A, P, and T buttons. Click the appropriate button to mark the student Absent, Present, or Tardy.
Each student's photo displays with fields above their photo and buttons overlaying part of the photo.
The student's name displays above the photo. Depending on your TAC setup, the background color may change after an attendance code is entered for a student.
Any student alerts display below the student name. If the office entered an attendance code, a red O displays on this line. Hover over this to see the entered code.
These buttons overlay the student photo's left side. Click the appropriate button to mark the student Absent, Present, or Tardy. If the current attendance code permits or requires Arrive or Dismiss times, fields will overlay the student's photo so you can enter those times.
Click on the student's name to display additional overlay fields:
The first field is the attendance code. This field only displays if TAC is configured to allow teachers to enter alternate absence codes. Click to display the Attendance Codes pop-up for more code options. Your administrator selects which code is entered when you click A or T.
Enter the student's arrival time. This field is only active for attendance codes that permit arrival time entry.
Enter the dismissal time, if applicable. This field is only active for attendance codes that permit dismissal time entry.
