Class Rollcall

Overview

The Staff Kiosk Rollcall > Class Rollcall program allows you to:

  • Mark the roll for your own classes.

  • Mark the roll for a class for which you are a substitute teacher.

  • Mark the roll for another teacher's classes (if enabled).

By default, the program will display your timetable for the current day. 

If you are entering absentees on behalf of another teacher, select the appropriate teacher from the 'Teacher Selector' drop-down list in the top right corner of the screen.

In some instances, multiple timetables will be employed by the school (e.g. Junior Timetable and Senior Timetable). If you are teaching in both, they will both be displayed.

Use the ‘>' right chevron buttons to display the rollcalls for the following day. Use the '<’ left chevron button to display rollcalls for the previous day. Click the ‘Today’ button to return to the rollcalls for today’s date.

Click the ‘Attendance Rollcall Status’ button to display a list of teachers required to mark the roll. Refer to the ‘Attendance Rollcall Status Button’ article for more information.

Click the ‘Mark Roll' link against the subject class for which you will mark the roll.  Refer to 'Marking the Roll’ for more information. Any class for which you have already marked the roll will display the ‘Edit Roll' link. Any class for which you are not required to mark the roll will display the 'View Roll' link.
