Marking Students Absent in LiveSchool 🏫

Did you hear? You can now mark students absent on your LiveSchool roster! Just click on their name and then select Absent on the Action Bar. You can click on their name again to set them back to present!

When a student is marked absent, they will be greyed out and not included in Select All or the Randomizer. Students are only shown as absent on your account and it resets every day.

Keep the Focus 🔍

The arrival of warm weather also means your students are getting antsy for Summer break. Keep the engagement up with these activities:

Weekly Class Goal

Set a point goal for the class and see if they can reach it! Some fun rewards that don’t break the bank include:

🎲 Play Games

🛝 Extra Recess

Maximize Your Impact ⭐

Nash Elementary’s PBIS system was good but they knew it could be great by focusing on one thing: student feedback.

They didn’t just send out a survey though. They used various types of feedback to improve all parts of the PBIS program: rubric, Houses, and their reward store.

And it worked! Students now feel a sense of ownership and are more engaged in their education. Read the full story →
