The Attendance section allows teachers to automate their attendance record keeping and corresponding scoring based on the students’ attendance. When taking attendance, one of sixteen different codes can be entered daily based on the individual student’s attendance.

For example, such codes may indicate an excused absence, unexcused absence, excused tardy, unexcused tardy, medical excuse, no dress, etc. Once codes are entered, a point value is assigned to the particular code. An absence may be worth 0 points, while an unexcused tardy may be worth 3 points. Code values may also be over-ridden.

As days pass, PhysAssist™ will automatically display a running total of the points accumulated based on the codes entered for each student, and at the end of a given accounting period, like a quarter or semester, the overall cumulative points will be calculated.
