Student Attendance records from your student information system can be imported into School Loop and made available to parents, students, and staff. If you are already using the tab delimited method for Sloopy imports, then importing attendance data simply involves adding two more files to the daily sloopy import and adding a few lines to your config file. If you are using another version of sloopy, you will need to switch to tab delimited. See the Data Integration Sloopy document in the left column for detailed information on how to setup sloopy for tab delimited and prepare the attendance files for import.

The attendance information for the current week will be displayed in the Dashboard for students and parents. School staff can view the same data in the student record for any student. Attendance is shown for the full day as well as by period. An attendance legend, explaining the codes your school uses, can be added to the bottom of the attendance view. By default, the attendance section of the student record is collapsed. To view, click the View This Week's button.

Click All Attendance in the top right corner of the weekly attendance to see attendance for the whole year. This view only includes the days that absenses or tardies were recorded.

From your portal page, click School Settings.
Click Go under Access Registration Management.
Scroll down to the Attendance legend form and enter explanations for your school’s attendance codes.
When you are done, click Submit.

Note: You may use basic HTML tags such as paragraph and break to customize the look of the legend.
