[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thanks.  I called the school office, as there's definitely no email address on my kid's school's website marked "attendance secretary" and in fact, there is a person who serves that function.  I assumed since the teacher is taking attendance of her kids, that she inputs the data but apparently not...[/quote]

We aren't allowed to have anything to do with attendance in the database. I submit attendance daily to the secretary but that's where my responsibility ends. We just pass on absence notes to the secretary who codes them in the system.

Yes, but you note down the kids who are out sick (because parents told you they were out) and which ones just didn't show up, right?   I've also had issues when my kid was marked absent when I had emailed the teacher he was sick and wasn't sure if it was the teacher's fault for not noting he was sick or the attendance secretary for incorrect data entry.[/quote]

Another teacher here. We can mark absent, tardy or present. There is no space to put the reason or make notes of any kind.  That needs to go to the office. It’s a nice to know for that teacher but the teacher doesn’t do anything with that information. When I email my kid’s school about absences I email the attendance secretary and CC the teacher. Two birds, one stone. [/quote]
