Overview
For School Loop Plus Users Only:
Student Attendance records from your student information system can be imported into School Loop and made available to parents, students, and staff. If you are already using the tab-delimited method for Sloopy imports, then importing attendance data simply involves adding two more files to the daily Sloopy import and adding a few lines to your config file.
