Hi Craig:
Thank you for your reply. Frankly, I don't seem to understand what you understand for "attendance records". In my view, it means having a record of a student's attendance to different classes across the duration of a week/month/semester, not just one day. The idea would be to be able to retrieve those records at the end of the week/month/semester to asses each students attendance to a class.
As I'm conversing with you I'm getting some ideas about this, but I would still like to read your suggestions.
Thank you for your attention
