Report Logic

Any student scheduled into an active, attendance-taking course on a day marked as a School Day, Instruction and Attendance on the Calendar Days tool reports. 

All students with an absent attendance code where the period minutes equal or exceed the Whole Day Absent Minutes for any 2A-2L Absent Code report.

Tardy or Early Dismissal codes (3B - 3L, 4B - 4L) report when there is less than a full day of absence for the same day. 

  • When an Absent Code exists and the total absent minutes for that code for that day are greater than or equal to the Grade Level Whole Day Absence or the Calendar Whole Day Absence (when the Grade Level Whole Day Absence value is not populated), the Absent Code reports.
  • When a Tardy Code exists and the total tardy minutes for that code for that day are less than the Grade Level Whole Day Absence or the Calendar Whole Day Absence (when Grade Level Whole Day Absence is not populated), AND there is nothing that would report for Absent codes, the Tardy/Early Dismissal code reports.

An absent code cannot report and a tardy or early dismissal code in the same day. 

When the Whole Day Absence Minutes and the Half Day Absence Minutes are both zero (0) or are not populated (NULL), the previous rules are ignored.

When no other attendance code is entered, the student reports with the default Attendance Code value of 1A: In school, regular instructional program. 

When the Start Date is not entered on the report editor, the earliest Calendar Start Date from the selected calendars is used. When the End Date is not entered, the latest Calendar End Date form the selected calendars is used. 

Enrollments, attendance data, and section rosters all need to be active at some point during the entered reporting period. 

When there is no Grade Level Whole Day Absence value or Calendar Whole Day Absence value entered, both Present Codes (1A - 1F) and Absent Codes (2A - 2L) report.

Students are NOT included when: 

  • They have an Enrollment Status of W (Summer Withdrawal).
  • Their enrollment record is marked as State Exclude or No Show.
  • They are enrolled in a Grade Level marked as State Exclude.
  • They are enrolled in a Calendar marked as State Exclude.
