Virtual

Our new Virtual Attendance Code helps you easily track who attends in-person or virtually. With this data, you can also analyze trends between children who attend in-person or virtually.

Late Pickup

Our new Late Pickup Attendance Code helps you track children who are picked up late.

Tardy and Late Pickup

Our new Tardy and Late Pickup Attendance Code helps you track children who were both tardy in the morning and picked up late in the afternoon.

Attention ChildPlus administrators: 
You can manage whether these new Attendance Codes are through ChildPlus Desktop >> Setup >> System Setup >> Customize Dropdown Choices.

You can also configure how these new codes count towards ADA and Attendance Percentages.

Online Application Attachment Notifications
