Bring in attendance from your old system
A screen recording of Pearspark doing exactly this in a sample school, and the same 6 steps written out below in the labels you'll see on screen.
How to bring in attendance from your old system
- 1Click Academics in the Learning section of the sidebar
- 2Click More at the top right, then "Import attendance history"
- 3Read File format: one row per student per term — student number or name, Year, Term, Days Enrolled, Absences, Excused Absences, Tardies; leave out Term and a row is that student's total for the whole year. "Download the blank CSV template" gives the header row
- 4Under "CSV file", choose your export and click Preview — nothing is written until you import
- 5Click Import — "Undo this import" takes it back; importing a corrected file replaces each total rather than adding to it
- 6Open a student, then the Academics tab: the Attendance card lists the totals under "Imported from your previous system"; report cards and the records packet for those terms print them, and a term with nothing on file says "No attendance recorded for this term."
Part of Attendance, schedule & calendar
A tap per kid on attendance, bell periods and breaks behind the schedule, and one school calendar every family and student sees in their portal.
