Attendance Policy

You may choose to factor students’ attendance into the calculation of their final grade:

1. Click on the GRADEBOOK tab, then select OPTIONS… from the Gradebook menu.
2. Click the ATTENDANCE tab in the Gradebook Options window.
3. You can modify the percent deducted for absences and tardies and/or the number of absences and tardies permitted before a penalty is incurred. Click in the appropriate field to edit these parameters. By entering "0" or leaving these fields blank, attendance will not be counted against the final grade.
4. Click the DONE button to save your changes. Click CANCEL to exit without saving.

The deduction from the final grade is measured in percentage points, not as a percent of that grade. For example, if an attendance policy deducts 2% for every two unexcused absences, then a final grade of "88" would become "86" if the student had two unexcused absences.
