Q:     How do I enter a note for a tardy/absent student using Monitor?

A: Option 1 - Go to Monitor and scroll down to the Note: option. Using the Select Student option, select the student you are writing a note for. Then write an explanation for absence/tardiness in the white box, then choose Go. The note will appear in the same line as the student's name in the far right hand column. (If you need to remove a note, repeat above steps but leave the note section blank and click Go.) Option 2 - If you do not want to enter a reason but document that there was a note or call from the parents, click on 'None' to the right of the student's name and it will change to 'Yes'. You can see the note you entered in a new window by clicking on the Telephone next to the student's name. The Telephone information is also available for teachers on attendance, gradebook, and lunch rosters, as well as in Reports. (See example) Please Note - Administrators can also go back in Monitor and enter notes for past dates.
