Add an additional Attended class Code

During our virtual learning we still had full schedules of learning. We did have an issue with attendance with 2 students. Because of their parents work schedule they were unable to attend the scheduled classes but they did do all their work so in theory they were never absent. I will add this to the idea section but what kind of code can I use since I cannot create an additional attended class code to show they werent absent.

Maybe add a code Attended Alternate learning?

We do have to supply Attendance records for audits so this is why this is so important especially for our Florida state scholarship audit

    With the 9/1/2020 release, a new attendance type has been added to the system. Attendance codes can now be assigned as Absence, Tardy, or Virtual.
    Codes assigned the Virtual type will not be considered in any absence or tardy counts throughout the system.

    Where are we with being able to add "Present" options to Attendance? I know this was updated as a stop-gap for schools, but is still a work around. The "Virtual Present" options we are all using fall under the Absent Category, which is not a long term fix.

    Thanks - 3/9/2021
