Big shout out to Dede Norton and Tom Roy for showing me these two new Powerschool features that will help you out!
LOOK AT TODAY'S ATTENDANCE BY STUDENTS
When you are in PowerTeacher, on the left hand side is a new link called Attendance Today:
Once you click on that, you are at a search area where you can search by student name. This can be filtered down by clicking on the + button:
Once you put in a name, it will show you if that student has been marked absent anywhere today. Nothing will show up if the student is present or if attendance was not taken in a class. But this does give you a quick way to see if a student has been marked elsewhere that day.
HOW TO TAKE ATTENDANCE FOR MULTIPLE SECTIONS AT ONE TIME:
Many have expressed frustration at having to toggle back and forth between so many sections in a single class in order to just get attendance done. You can do it all in ONE page by selecting the Show Multiple Sections option.
For one of your sections, go into take attendance from PowerTeacher and then click on the blue Show Multiple Sections button.
Then, all of the sections for that class period will be on one screen for you to quickly take attendance.
All of these are archived at my blog: https://monumentpd.
I'd love to work with you and your classes on any upcoming projects or assignments. Take care.
