Do You Track ABSENCES or ATTENDANCE?

An organization can track absences or attendance, but not both at the same time.  Jackrabbit defaults to tracking absences rather than attendance (except the Dojo edition).  The preferred method is through the Staff Portal.  Please refer to the Coaches/Instructors and other Staff category for more information.  You may also record absences/attendance on the Class Record, Family Record, and Student Record.  

Here is an outline of the articles included in this lesson:
