going home. The next day rolls over at 9.00 am, but you can still edit
previous days if you want to. The list of absences is generated by the
office and goes to the level coordinators to check absences. There is
also the "notes" facility whereby a short note can be attached to a
students name (eg. homework not done, lateness, behaviour etc.) - coordinators
can then get a better picture of "repeat offendors" and therefore
often have more ammunition when dealing with parents.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
