MiaChiesaTake catechism attendance
Record who is present, excused or absent at each meeting and check the group’s attendance standing.
Open the register
Open Catechism and your group. In the next-meeting card select Mark attendance (or Open attendance register): the Attendance tab opens on the upcoming meeting.
See reported absences
If a parent already reported an absence, the child’s row shows Reported by the parent with the reason and any note. For another meeting pick the date at the top or add one with New meeting.
Mark attendance
Select All present to start with everyone present, then adjust each child with Present, Excused or Absent. Each choice is saved immediately; the counters at the top update.
Check the standing
Below the register, Attendance standing shows each child’s percentage against the threshold for completing the year. Children below it get the Below threshold badge.
What you have achieved
- The meeting’s attendance is recorded.
- You know which children are close to or below the attendance threshold.
Troubleshooting
I can’t see Mark attendance
You are not a catechist of this group or lack the Record catechism attendance permission. Ask the coordinator.
I see “No meetings. Add one to mark attendance.”
The group has no scheduled meetings: add one from the register or the Meetings tab.
Why is a child below threshold early in the year?
The standing counts all the group’s meetings, including future ones: the percentage rises as you mark attendance.
