This page now honors the new Attendance portal options to allow back-posting and forward-posting Attendance Notes. It also allows Attendance Notes to be posted outside time restriction if the "Attendance cannot be taken before/after a period starts" options are set.

Classroom Attendance
This page now has the recently added functionalities on the Teacher Attendance page such as the Quick Attendance Notes and the Mass Add.
The Section Staff (SSE) table structure has been modified to support the same staff member being assigned to a section during multiple date ranges.
Master Schedule
The Section Staff Members area has been adjusted to allow multiple records for the same staff ID (i.e., a history of section staff assignments). Also, a new field for Past Primary Teacher has been added to indicate that a staff member was the primary teacher for some date range in the past. Also, new warning messages have been added to alert the user when there are overlapping dates for the same staff member or for the primary/past primary teachers. Also, there is an improved workflow for changing the primary teacher of the section.
Class Calendar
This page now features an option to copy a calendar and push a calendar to other schools.
The "Load Defaults" button on this page has been adjusted to load PreSchool/Child-Care values as well as TK/K-12 values. PreSchool/Child-Care values are loaded based on age in months, while TK/K-12 values are loaded based on Grade. Changes have been made to the vaccination requirement logic to ignore age-based requirements if a grade-based requirement exists that applies to the current student's grade-level, as to not disqualify a TK/K-12 student based on being under 60 months (which is the high age in months for most PreSchool/Child-Care vaccination requirements). Also the age in months logic was inaccurate when a student's birthday was in the current month but had not yet occurred, fixed.
