3. Go to the appropriate Attendance month sheet using the tabs at the bottom of the Spreadsheet
4. If the student isn't already on the list for that month add their information
5. For each day that the student has attened place your student code in the cell (this will allow for the possibility of recording multiple centers on each day. School codes are below

• Edgehill: E
• Kelly Creek: K
• Henderson: H
• Orca Bus: O​​​​​​
6. Once a registration form has been received and the record has been created please remember to enter in the past attendance recorded in the online spreadsheet. If you notice that the student has attended another school as well please inform the secretary that the student has been registered and they can also move the attendance over. Once the attendance has been entered in MyEd please change the font color of the name to RED so that it can be identified as updated.

In order for attendace to be taken students MUST be registered in the Strong Start school AND the course needs to be added. When working on attendance it is easiest to work on a PER DAY basis as opposed to working on a single student and multiple dates.
