Master Attendance is an important piece of your school's attendance workflow and helps determine a student's default attendance status when teachers are taking attendance for the day.
Master attendance answers a general "Is this person here at school today?" You can view this data from the Attendance homepage.
Configuring a class to take master attendance must be done by a Veracross Engineer and should be discussed with your Account Manager as well. When you are ready to set up master attendance, generate a ticket through Veracross Support. If you are looking to swap from a class taking class attendance to master attendance instead, you should also submit a ticket with Veracross Support.
The default classes that take master attendance are based on school level and are as follows:
- Pre-School — Homeroom
- Lower School — Homeroom
- Middle School — 1st period of the day
- Upper School — 1st period of the day
