Mac School provides Attendance clerks with an easy-to-use, fast and powerful Attendance module. Attendance can either be entered manually and now, with the multi-user environment, at multiple work-stations at the same time or via optical scanners such as ScanTron, Chatsworth, and NCS scanners.
Attendance can be entered on a daily, semi-daily or period by period basis. The school can define up to 128 daily and 128 period attendance codes. The value of the code and whether it should be by default an excused or an unexcused attendance code is also school defined. Comments can be kept defining a reason for each student's absence and printed out in reports.
Attendance reporting is very flexible! Numerous attendance reports have already been built into the system such as: Absent Students’ Phone List, Today’s List of Absent Students, Students’ Birthdays Report, Daily, Weekly and Monthly reports for selected students, Statistical Summaries, and many many more! It provides reports for administrative purposes and highlights attendance trends. In fact, it tells you everything about attendance that you would want to know!
Individual State Attendance reports are added without extra charge if the ‘hard wired’ reports are not satisfactory and the report cannot be reproduced with the Report Manager.
Mac School can also download a list of absent students’ telephone numbers to an automatic dialer - ROLL•CALL.
A capability soon to be released is the ability for a teacher to enter period attendance over the network on his/her classroom //GS.
