See the lesson Access the Student Portfolio if you need to review how to access the Student Portfolio page for a student.
Attendance Categories
1. Select the Attendance tab.
Attendance categories include Calendar(for Calendar Year/Term), Daily Totals, Course Totals, and Period Totals (for Marking Periods).

The included key will list the Daily Attendance as highlighted in:
- Green - Present
- Red - Absent
- Yellow - Late
- Blue - Excused
Note: Daily Attendance is pulled from ATS. The letters P, A, L, and E are Period Attendance and come from the teacher's Attendance Book in Skedula or ATS.
1. To view a previous month, select the month from the upper left-hand corner.
2. To view the next month, select the month from the upper right-hand corner.
Daily Totals
Daily Totals displays attendance totals by month and term.
On the bottom right-hand corner of the page, you will see the Present Percentage which is calculated as an average of total days present + late over total school days. In the example above it is 98%.
Course Totals
Course Totals will list the course attendance data separated by course. You can use the Year/Term to change terms or the View Course Totals By Month to view course attendance totals by month.
Note: If you are a middle school or high school Course Totals is most likely used by your school.
