# Exclude and Include Students

Students who are absent can be excluded from your classroom session with the **Exclude** command. This command will temporarily hide the student from your Screens and Timeline views. Students can be excluded and re-included at any time during your session. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Excluding a student will not delete them from your roster.</span>
