      How to Log a Student Absence or No Show?

      This article will explain what a therapist or evaluator needs to complete if a student is a "no show" or absent for a scheduled session.

      For a more detailed guide of how to create a log entry for absences or no shows for therapy sessions, please view this Scribe for missed therapy sessions.

      For a more detailed guide for how to create a log entry for missed evaluation sessions, please view this Scribe.

      Therapists and evaluators are required to log all successful and attempted student contacts in the Pearson Online Classroom.  If a student misses a scheduled session or calls with a last minute cancellation, this must still be logged in the online classroom.  Follow the steps below to create this type of log entry.

      1. Click on Sections & Students
      2. Open your student's section
      3. Find the student by name and click on their name to view a list of options.
      4. Select "Log."
      5. Click "Create Log Entry"
      6. Include the following criteria in your log entry:
        1. About: Student Name
        2. System: Student
          Location: Enter the school location
           
        3. Section: Enter the section name
           
        4. Contact Type: Select "LiveLesson - Did Not Attend" or "LiveLesson - Did Not Attend (Required)" (if it is an in-person session, select Face to Face - Did Not Attend)
           
        5. Contactees: Enter the student name and the caretaker (if applicable)
