If you are not a classroom teacher you will be using PowerSchool for this task. Log into PowerSchool and open a student schedule by clicking on the backpack icon and a student name. Here you can view the student's schedule, emergency contacts and attendance records by chosing a report from the Select Screens drop down menu. Post on Edmodo how you could use these reports in your position.
