Taking Attendance Using ClassXP

 

  1. Log in to Novel as usual (you cannot use workstation only because ClassXP needs network resources to function properly)
  2. Double click on the ClassXP icon to launch the program
  3. Enter your ClassXP User ID and Password and then click Login (We will discuss username and password in the training session.)
  4. Double click on the top Homeroom section (You should then see a window open that contains your student names; it looks much like a seating chart)
  5. Find the Class menu at the top of the page, click on it and choose Take Attendance from the dropdown menu
  6. Click on the name of a student who is absent; a UNX will appear to indicate and Unexcused Absence
  7. Click again, (two times) to indicate a Tardy
  8. Should you make a mistake, click again several time until the code in the student's square disappears
  9. When you have finished taking roll for all of your students, find the dialogue rectangle along the top of the window that reads Take Attendance - Click here when finished
  10. You are DONE! You may now exit the program
  11. Should a student arrive a few minutes late, you can go through the same process listed above and change his absence to a tardy. However, changes to the student attendance record the following day must be made by personnel in the office
  12. Teachers only have access to the current day for attendance. Student notes and changes that must be made when absences are excused must be made by office personnel that have access to previous dates in Class XP; therefore notes explaining absences should be sent to the office
  13. Other Class XP help documents can be found at http://mitchell.mcsdga.net/Helps_Handouts.htm
