Schools configured for daily attendance can use time entries to accurately reflect the assigned duration of partial in-school suspensions and out-of-school suspensions.

Note: Time entries are only available for schools using daily attendance (typically elementary schools) and are not available for schools with meeting-based attendance configured.

To assign a time entry: 

Less Than A day
If the total duration of the action is less than a full day, select “Less than a day” and then enter the start and end times for the action.



A Day or More
If the total duration is more than 1 day, select “A Day or More,” and use the partial day toggle box to indicate that a specific day was less than a full day. Once you toggle the partial day option on, the time entry fields will appear for you to enter the exact times.




For out-of-school suspensions, simpldiscipline allows you to set a custom attendance code. By default, in South Carolina, the attendance code “SC-EDSM” is applied for any partial day OSS durations and "SC-ISS" is applied for any partial ISS durations. It will also add "Out of School Suspension (OSS)" as an attendance comment for any OSS days

If you’d like to set a different custom attendance code by default, please email help@simpledu.org.
