Please considering tweaking the system on your end so that we can enter attendance notes at all times, even for “present” students.
Currently, the only way to add a note while taking attendance is to make a student absent, but there are times we need to enter notes when a student is not absent. For example, we use the LMS to take attendance during proctored study halls as well as regular classes; however, during most study halls a number of students check in with their proctors before going to other commitments, like a conference with a teacher, a student club, or private music lessons.
Ideally, we would like to mark the student “present” (because they checked in) and then enter a note about where they said they were going, so our Dean of Students can verify.
Thanks for considering!
