1. Taking Attendance
Teachers have three flexible ways to mark rolls, ensuring they can capture data regardless of their workflow.
On the Web: Use the full Orah dashboard for a complete view of the classroom, including seating charts and student profiles.
Orah Browser Extension: Mark rolls directly from a sidebar without leaving your SIS or other open tabs.
Mobile App: Ideal for PE, excursions, or outdoor activities—mark rolls quickly from a phone or tablet.
2. Attendance Insights
Once the rolls are marked, administrators can move from data entry to data analysis.
Trend Identification: Spot patterns in student behavior, such as students who are frequently late on Monday mornings or missing specific periods.
School-Wide Analytics: View attendance percentages by year level, house, or custom student groups.
Actionable Reporting: Export detailed reports for compliance or pastoral meetings to discuss student engagement trends.

3. Editing Attendance Records
Learn how to adjust data when the situation on the ground changes manually.
Attendance Record Edit: Sometimes a mistake is made or a student's status changes mid-period. This guide shows you how to find a specific record and edit the status, time, or reason code to ensure the log is 100% accurate.
4. Attendance Reconciliation (Part 1 & 2)
The core process of turning "Unexplained" marks into verified data.
Reconciliation Part 1 (The Basics): Focus on the daily cleanup. Identify students with "Unexplained" absences and learn how to quickly assign reasons based on incoming parent communication or staff notes.
Reconciliation Part 2 (Advanced & SIS Sync): Go deeper into bulk reconciliation for large groups (like sports trips) and understand the logic of how these reconciled records "write back" to your Veracross SIS to maintain your official records.
