POST

Report attendance for each school the student has a Student School Association record for.


Reports attendance from associated Attendance Periods:

  1. Date Range of reporting period is the Attendance Start Date through Attendance End Date.
  2. Exclude any attendance/membership found between Exclude Start Date and Exclude End Date.

Student must have an ADA eligibility record that is active in the reporting range.

  • ADA eligibility = 1/2/3/4/5/6
Reporting year enrollment containing present days.

A change of school within the Attendance Period will cause a record for each school to report.

A change in grade level within the Attendance Period will cause a record for each grade level to report.

  • The total days reported for each data element on the record is the total for that specific reporting period. If a student has multiple entries and withdrawals in the same grade in the same school on the same instructional track during a specific reporting period, only one record is required and the total days for each data element are reported.

Do not send record if attendance records are associated with:

  • An enrollment marked as State Exclude or No Show.
  • A Calendar when the Exclude checkbox is marked.
  • A School when the Exclude checkbox is marked.
PUT

Attendance data is changed within a reported Attendance Period.

DELETEIf enrollment that affects the attendance range is deleted.

Logic for Counting Days of Absence

There is an "Attendance Snapshot Time" designated in System Admin > Calendar > Calendar for each School.
Students who are marked absent in the period that contains the snapshot time are considered absent for the day.
Students who are marked present in the period that contains the snapshot time are considered present for the day.
Attendance marks in any other period do not count.
Students with ADA Eligibility = 2, 5, or 6 count one-half day of absence or presence for each instructional day.
If there is a number entered into Present Minutes for a period, use that number to calculate the total minutes, no matter what attendance code is entered.
If there is no attendance code/a Present code/an Absent-Exempt code and no minutes entered into the Present Minutes, use the Period Start and End times to calculate the number of minutes Present, adding together the instructional minutes from any instructional period in which the student is scheduled into an attendance taking course, when the student does not have an attendance code with a Status/Excuse of Absent/Excused, Absent/Unexcused, Absent/Unknown, or teacher-entered absence.
Students in Grade = EE must have an overlapping IEP to have attendance days included.

Scope Year

Business Rules
Attendance records will only send to the school year that the incident date is aligned to based on the School Year Start and End dates.

If School Year Start Date is NULL, 7/1/xxxx will be the default start date used.

If School Year End Date is NULL, 6/30/xxxx will be the default end date used.

Data will only send for the years that have valid configuration.
