You are able to allow parents to notify you of upcoming absences through your portal and have those automatically logged in to your account.
To turn on this option go to More > Settings and click Portal Settings in the left menu. Then click the Options tab.
Scroll down to Attendance Settings. To let parent turn in absences, you need to make sure to check the box to Show Absences Page, the box to Let Parents Report Absences, and Save Changes.
Now, when your parent logs into the portal they can go to Info > Attendance and can use the Report Absence button to report a new absence.
When a parent reports an absence, the system walks them step by step so you get all the detail you need.
First, it asks which students will be missing class.
It then asks what dates they will be out.
Finally, the system uses that information to create a list of classes that the selected students are scheduled to attend on those dates. The parent can submit an absence for all of them at the same time by clicking Submit Absences.
When the parent submits those absences they are logged to the classes automatically along with the reason the parent gave.
You also receive an email with the detail of what they submitted.
