====== Assignment and Work Records in PLS ======


Assignment and Work Records (AWR) are used to assign lessons so a student knows what assignments need to be completed during the learning period and when they are due.  After the learning period is over, it is used to show teacher grades and comments, and post attendance for final reporting to the school.

**NOTE:** Attendance claimed during the LP is typically shown on the AWR.  You MUST claim attendance before completing a student’s AWR so the number of days claimed for attendance is shown on the document.  See manual [[pls:attendance_in_the_pls|PLS – Attendance in the PLS.]]
