Marking a child absent records that the child is not coming today, which is different from not being signed in yet.

Before you start

• Finish Open Attendance and pick a classroom first.

Steps

1. Open My Day → Attendance, pick the classroom, and tap the child.
2. Tap Mark Absent at the bottom.

   Mark Absent at the bottom of a child's attendance sheet

Tips

• To mark several children at once (in classrooms without a required sign-in signature), tap each child under Not Present, then tap Absent in the bar at the bottom.
• To undo, tap the child. The sheet says "This child has been marked absent". Tap Mark Un-Absent.
• Absent children show a red icon on their photo and are faded in the list.
