A. Pushing daily attendance for individual students
1 The first step is to open Aspen and click Attendance
2 Click Class Office
3 Click the double arrows next to the Daily Code you want to "Push" to all classes.
4 The Daily Attendance code will be pushed to all classes so other teachers can see that the student is absent for the day. This will also copy excused, suspension, or other codes that were entered in daily attendance.
B. Pushing daily attendance for a group of students or all students
The Multi-Manage Class Attendance option can be used to push daily to class attendance in bulk for a group of students. Please ensure that you select the start and end dates you want to create the records for, students and periods to Include, behavior, and attendance components.
