How do I setup early start classes?

Schools often have classes prior to the official start of the day possibly called period 0. 

  • Exclude those periods from the flexible set up
  • Usually before school classes are marked for internal attendance only, so does not get synced to their regular attendance.  
  • This setup is commonly used by schools that run before school classes. Rolls for these periods are taken internally via PXP, and the corresponding periods are removed from the flexible slots. This approach allows schools to maintain a record of student attendance for the class, while ensuring that their overall attendance accurately reflects attendance during normal school hours.

If before/after school or any other periods throughout the day are imported from Timetables into PxP as 'Other' and rolls cannot be marked for classes in these periods, you will need to modify the Period Type by going to:

Class PxP > Class PxP Setup> Timetable/Period Setup > click on the period > Set Type: Period > ensure that Sync to Attendance options is DISABLED** > Save.


Note: You cannot synchronise PxP classes to Attendance that fall outside of School Start/End times - if you require specific school years to have varied start/end times, please ensure this is configured within Attendance > Attendance  Setup > School Times.
