Q. What is the correct procedure to document when a student is tardy (T) and leaves early (LE) during the same period?

A. When a student is Tardy (T), the student must be marked tardy with the reason code and time-in. If the student Leaves Early (LE) during the same period, the attendance code needs to be changed from Tardy (T) to Leave Early (LE) with the reason code and time-out. Please note that both transactions will be documented in the student’s Attendance Audit report located under the student profile Attendance tab.

Q. What is the procedure for entering attendance when the system is unavailable (e.g.,emergency situations, such as evacuations or power outages)?

A. In each classroom, every teacher should have on hand the current Five Column Roster to record attendance in emergency and other situations when MiSiS is not available. An office staff member typically prints and distributes the rosters to teachers, but teachers may also print their own.

If teachers cannot submit attendance in MiSiS, attendance should be recorded on a printed Five Column Roster report, adding the names of any students not listed, and crossing out the names of any dropped students; the report must be signed and dated. If attendance is not submitted in MiSiS by the teacher on the same instructional day, office staff must enter the attendance and the paper record must be retained in the office for five (5) years.

Q. When are teachers supposed to submit attendance?
