• Teachers mark the roll in edge and Unexplained Absences are identified by a ‘?’. These can be seen in edge under Attendance > Unexplained Absences. 
  • Administrative staff process absence notes, phone messages etc. explaining some of the absences. They change the ‘?’ and add a note onscreen with the reason for the absence. 
  • The administrator clicks ‘Save Changes’ and the student will be removed from that screen as their absence is no longer ‘Unexplained’, leaving the final list of ‘Unexplained Absences’.
