PLS: Processing Attendance For Individual Students

Learn how to manage Independent Study attendance within PLS, including documenting participation, reviewing attendance records, claiming attendance, and archiving completed records.

Attendance for PLS is "Suggested Attendance" and comes over daily from:
  • Learning Logs
  • Synchronous Instruction/Live Interaction
  • Work that is synced through any integrations or bridges your school uses.

This is not a task that needs to be completed daily. While attendance can be reviewed throughout the Learning Period (LP), it is typically claimed at the end of the LP. Once attendance has been printed, it is considered claimed and ready for the next step in the process.

Navigation:

  • From your Dashboard

  • Click Roster

  • Click the Arrow next to the student’s dashboard you want to open

  • Click the ICON under Attendance column


On this screen you will see a list of all your students on your roster

You will see suggested Attendance, suggested attendance will come from:

  1. Learning Logs/Activity Logs

  2. Synchronous Instruction/Live Interaction

  3. Any work coming over from your Bridges

Green Means: There is suggested activity for that day

The Icon next to the Students Name can be clicked on to view the list of where the suggested activity is coming in from.

You can edit the attendance mark if you do not agree with the suggested Activity.

  • The Orange Exclamation Mark shows the Student as Present, although as you look to the right of the screen you do not see where the suggested activity is coming in from. CLick in the green IP box to change it to red if you disagree with the attendance claim.
  • The Arrow on the top right of the screen allows you to go to the next student, to view the suggested activity for that student. 
  • The Save button on the bottom right allows you to save any changes made

Once you save the Attendance, the attendance information will populate into the AWR.
