Visitu Attendance Management Update
When schools use the kiosk Early Dismissal feature for parents to enter their information on the kiosk to display their child(ren), the parent’s name entered during Early Dismissal will now appear in the Notes section of the attendance dashboard. This is simply a record of who entered the dismissal for auditing purposes only. Schools should still follow their processes for verifying the parent/guardian whom the student is being released to.
