The App will also display detail about specific attendance marks including authorised and unauthorised attendance marks. Late marks are incorporated into the overall attendance marks and unknown marks are waiting for confirmation of the reason for the absence. NOTE: There are two possible sessions in a school day, AM and PM. |
 |

This will display a bar chart of both negative and positive behaviour points over time, the chart can be scrolled across throughout the year. Positive points are shown in green and negative points in red with a total points count. |
 |
If you prefer you can toggle the graph to show the number of events rather than points. This will allow you to see the numberof positive and negative events recorded over time. Again, you can scroll the chart across and positive events are in green and negative events in red. |
 |
| Behaviour detail: If you tap the ‘details’ button or tap in the white space around the behaviour chart you can then view the detailed event record for your child including the date, the subject, the event type and the associated points. This is useful to see if positive or negative behaviour are occurring in certain lessons. |

 |
| Subject detail: If you tap on a specific subject you can see an overview of attainment, behaviour and homework for that subject |
