These can be reviewed and adjusted.
Attendance categories lets you define how teachers mark student attendance and how it is calculated across your schools.
Each category (e.g., Present, Absent, Excused) can have multiple attendance codes under it (e.g., Late, Sick Leave), and each code can be tailored for individual schools. These codes will be visible to teachers when they mark attendance from within a class.
