When Daily Participation is used throughout the school, all persons involved in the dismissal process have all of the necessary information to facilitate all student operations.

The Daily Participation screen only takes a few seconds each day to use properly. Once you understand what the display means and how it works, operation is simple.

The buttons P, A, and E correspond to the student status at the end of the day.

P stands for Participating. This indicates that the student is present in the school during normal dismissal.

A stands for Absent. This indicates that the student is not present and will not be participating during normal dismissal. This student will not appear on any dismissal screens, either in the classroom or for dismissal staff.

E stands for Early Departure. This indicates that a student has left the school prior to normal dismissal. Operationally this works the same as being absent - student will not appear on any dismissal screens, either in the classroom or for dismissal staff - but is used to distinguish a student who was present in class for a portion of the day.

Explicit Override / Clear If a student is designated as absent or early departure, any existing settings for an explicit dismissal method will be cleared. Changing the student back to Participating will NOT restore the explicit dismissal settings.
