Student not found? Fixing mistakes

What to do when a student isn't in the list, when you logged the wrong tardy, or when you need to log a tardy for an earlier time.

The student isn't in the list

  1. Type at least 3 letters, and try the last name or the student ID instead of the first name. Nicknames won't match. Use the name on file.
  2. If they still don't appear, they may be new or archived. Write down their name and ID and ask your TardySweep admin to add them (Admin → Student Management → Create Student).

I logged a tardy by mistake

Only admins can delete a tardy. If you're a Standard user, ask your admin and tell them the student, date and time.

If you're an admin:

  1. Open the student's card on the Tardy Logger.
  2. In Recent Activity, click the trash can next to the wrong tardy.
  3. When asked Are you sure you want to delete this Tardy?, click Yes.

I need to log a tardy for an earlier time

Before clicking Log Tardy, change the date and time on the student's card. When you type a time, 12:00 to 4:59 counts as PM and everything else as AM. TardySweep uses that time to work out the period.
