For Parent Sign-in only have one attendance button (Drop Off or Pick Up)

Parents often select the wrong button when signing a child in or out. Instead of having two buttons it would be nice if there was just one button which would say "Drop Off" when the child is not present and "Pick Up" if the child has already been dropped off.

    This is constantly an issue at our small school.

    I can understand edge cases where you might argue for both buttons (ie. Someone wants to "Pick Up", but a parent forgot to sign for "Drop Off" or a teacher forgot to mark the child "Present"). But in both of those cases, if the school is going to keep accurate records, those errors need to be fixed internally by school staff anyway.

    Both "Drop Off" and "Pick Up" should not be shown at the same time. Honestly, I would simplify the whole process by getting rid of "Note" as well, and having no buttons. Just show the "Today" table with the "Name" dropdown, and a Header saying, "Sign for DROP OFF" or "Sign for PICK UP" depending on if the child is marked "present".
