❗Before You Begin
-
Identify the activity containing the student.
- Know the specific attendance date from which the student should be removed.
- Confirm that you're removing the correct student and attendance entry.
‼️Important: Removing a student from an attendance date is different from withdrawing them from an activity. This action only affects the selected attendance date and does not remove their overall activity enrollment.
1. Open Manage Check-In/Out
From your AfterSchool HQ account, open “Manage Check-In/Out” to access your organization's attendance records.

2. Select an Activity
Open “Select Activity” and choose the activity containing the student you want to remove from an attendance date.

💡 Tip: If your organization manages multiple activities, make sure you select the correct one before proceeding.
3. Apply the Activity Selection
Select “Apply” to confirm your activity selection.

4. Choose an Attendance Date
Use the calendar to select the specific attendance date from which you want to remove the student.
The attendance roster will display the records associated with that date.

💡 Tip: Double-check the selected date before making changes, especially when managing attendance across multiple days.
5. Locate the Student
Find the student you want to remove from the selected day's attendance roster.
Review the student's information to make sure you've located the correct attendance record.

6. Select Remove
Once you've located the student, select “Remove” next to their attendance record.
This will begin the process of removing the student from the selected attendance date.

7. Review the Removal Confirmation
A confirmation message will appear explaining the impact of removing the student.
Removing the student will exclude them from:
- Attendance Totals: The student will no longer be included in attendance counts for that date.
- Reports: The student's attendance entry will be excluded from reports associated with the selected date.
- Analytics: Attendance analytics for that date will no longer include the removed entry.

⚠️ Important: Review the confirmation carefully before proceeding. Removing a student changes the attendance records and reporting information associated with that date.
8. Confirm Student Removal
Select “Remove” again to confirm your decision. The student will be removed from the selected attendance date.
Their overall activity enrollment will remain unchanged.

💡 Tip: After completing the removal, review the attendance roster to confirm that the student no longer appears for the selected date.
