Define secondary school management preferences

Determine if your intermediate organization, and school contain secondary students—students who attend some classes at your school, but are enrolled at a primary school. Then, determine how to handle attendance data for secondary students.

Important:  This preference does not set the default value when adding a secondary school association to a student. The preference is only referenced when using the procedure to Create Secondary School Associations.

To define secondary school management preferences:

1. Log on to the School view.
2. Select School > Setup > Preferences.
3. Click the Category drop-down to select Secondary School Management. The Secondary School Management preferences page appears.

   

4. If your intermediate organization has secondary students, select the Secondary students checkbox.
5. To set the default behavior for attendance management for secondary schools, select one of the following at the Secondary school daily attendance management field:
• None: The secondary school cannot take daily attendance for secondary students.
• Sole: Only the secondary school can take attendance for secondary students.
• Shared: Both primary and secondary schools can take attendance for secondary students. However, the school that enters the attendance owns it—the other school has read-only access to it.

  Note: To indicate that the daily attendance was entered at another school, a red asterisk * appears next to it on the Class Office side-tab.
