Overview

The Attendance Report with Comments displays student attendance records along with comments entered during attendance marking. This report is useful when administrators need to review not only the attendance status, but also the reason or note recorded for that attendance entry.

Use this report to check attendance remarks, follow up on absence explanations, or review teacher/admin comments linked to attendance records.

Unlike the Absence Summary Report, which focuses on attendance code totals, this report focuses on attendance entries that include comments.
