Attendance with In/Out Times
Note: the weekly entry method is not restricted to point-of-service or meal times. This method assumes that original attendance and meal counts are being taken on paper and then transferred in to My Food Program. If you need a method that enforces point-of-service meal counts, please use our configuration with attendance and meal counts on separate screens or attendance and meal counts on the same screen.
To enter attendance with in/out times:
- Click on "Enter Attendance & Meal Count from Paper" from the main dashboard
- Select the Monday of the week for which you want to enter attendance and meal counts
- Select the roster for which you want to enter attendance and meal counts
- Click "Submit" to load the participant list
- Enter the arrival and departure times for each participant using one of these methods:
- Use the time-picker and select the hour and minute.
- Click the button that says “Now” to auto-fill the current time
- Type a time in the box. Required format is hh:mm am or pm
- Click “Done” to save the time.
If a child or adult day care client arrives and departs more than once in a day (for example, a child attends the center before school and then again after school)
Click the blue plus sign
- Enter another set of arrival and departure times.
- Click "Save" when you have completed attendance entry for all participants.
