Penalties

You can enter penalties for poor attendance within the system. 

There are two ways to enter penalties:

"Create Penalties" allows you to create penalties based on the student’s attendance.

The "Penalty" screen will appear.

Select the Term, Student Name, Penalty, and Date Redeemed (optional).

Click "OK" to save the penalty.

The penalty you created will now appear when you go to "View Penalties".
