Note: This field is special in that it will always be available regardless of other settings. This allows every single school to set a different attendance person.

What are the options?

Attendance Person: Who is the attendance person at that building

• Default: None -> No one has been designated as the attendance person
• Other Options:
  • Any staff member -> The drop down will contain names of active staff members who can log into PowerSchool regardless of if they can log into PowerTeacher. An attendance person would be managing attendance from the admin portal so the list only provides users with admin access.
