To use the Attendance Quick Entry mode, go to the School tab. Under Daily Attendance, click the arrow icon in the upper right-hand corner of the Edit Student Attendance tile.

You can filter students based on demographic fields (such as team membership) and apply attendance codes to selected periods. This ensures consistent entries and saves significant time compared to updating records individually.

Edit Discipline Incidents Before Approval
Gatekeeper to Ensure Every Record Is Accurate, Polished, and Ready to Share
When teachers submit incident reports through PlusPortals, administrators can review and edit the incoming details directly in the AdminPlus.com Approval Center before they become part of the student’s record. This allows corrections to spelling, descriptions, or consequences, ensuring that the final record is accurate and appropriate before it becomes visible to parents, students, or staff.
Visit the Approval Center area or click into the School tab > Incidents > Receive Incidents tile. On the right-hand side you will see the editable details of the incident report.

Live Grades and Averages
A Window into the Gradebook with Live Teacher Data
The seamless connection between AdminPlus and the TeacherPlus Gradebook is stronger than ever. Users can see how a student is doing in their classes by checking the real-time grade data displayed on every student’s Snapshot within the system. Unlike static report card grades, this sync is updated automatically as teachers make entries in their Gradebook. Using that data, up-to-date progress reports can be generated directly within AdminPlus which pull detailed assessment data from every class.
To see the live grade data, visit the Snapshot area of a student’s profile. Click the gear icon to set the visibility for Gradebook Average or Gradebook Grade. To generate a Progress Report, click the arrow icon in the upper right corner of the Snapshot Grade tile or navigate directly to the Grades tab of the student’s profile.
