Attendance Management

[SowinskiBraeden]

Description:
The ability to log the attendance for a student.

For every class a teacher has, they will receive a daily class attendance form which will include a list of student names in that class.
Next to each student name will be a checkbox or a yes/no switch to indicate the students presence.

Each attendance form will be interpreted, so any student missing without an excuse message will alert an admin.
This will also be logged under the students presence history.
