Attendance Session
How to take an attendance?

It helps you easily track and manage student attendance. You can access it by clicking "Class Sections" on the left navigation bar.
Here's what you can do:
Take Attendance
For Today's Attendance
Steps:

Click "Start" to begin the session.
During the session:
"Open for Students": Extend the session time if needed.
