Question 34

Attendance taking (8)

Answer 34

1. Please make sure to always take attendance at the beginning of class. the reason for this is so you’re aware of the students that belong in your class.
2. After you take attendance, count the number of students in your class and then the number you have marked present to make sure there is a match.
3. OPTION: When taking attendance, have all students to stand. As you say each students name out loud, ask the student to sit down when they hear their name. Any student left standing at the end does not belong in your class.
4. If you notice a student is in your class that is not on your roster, please do not allow the student to stay. Send them to the SONYC office room 325 (if you’re upstairs- and a director is upstairs) or to the cafeteria (if you’re downstairs- or if there is no director upstairs). We must avoid students roaming the hallway. One of the supervisors will escort them to their class.
5. Please make sure that the students sign out on the attendance sheets after both sessions. This will help us to see who has been attending their activity and who is not.
6. Please take attendance only in pencil, black ink, or blue ink.
7. Please do not allow students to manage your attendance folder to avoid any drawings, stains, sketches, marks signing other students names or inappropriate writing.
8. Please do not write notes or any other marks beside a check or x in the P column. leave the A column blank is the student is not there. in some cases your student may be present but is with the educational specialist or provided extra study time. mark students present when he or she arrive even if it is after you have taken attendance.
