names of the students on the roll of the class or section, during a month. The attendance is
marked in the beginning of the school hour. Entries should be made in ink. Blanks should not
be left. Students who remain absent from the school without leave for fifteen consecutive days

nature should be shown in the attendance register. It should show the absences, tardiness,
entrances, withdrawls, promotions failures and other information which may be desired by the
