Before you start, consider the following.
- On a nightly basis, an attendance aggregation processing job runs at the district level to update the aggregated attendance data (used in attendance reports and ad hoc for NASIS State Edition sites) to include the prior day's attendance. Because this job only looks at changes made to attendance fields the day prior, backdated attendance changes may not be included. To ensure all attendance data (including any backdated changes) are included in the attendance aggregation, recommend to your districts they periodically run the Attendance Aggregation Refresh tool.
- District-level data is automatically synced to the state weekly. To capture attendance changes between syncs, an administrator might consider manually running the Resync State Data tool to reflect more up-to-date data in attendance reports and aggregated attendance fields ad hoc.
If both tools are used to reflect the most up-to-date attendance at the state level, Attendance Aggregation Refresh should be run first followed by the Resync State Data tool.
Report Logic
This report uses the following logic.
Report Editor Details
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Consecutive Days *Required | The amount of time a student's absence from school (for any reason) must span without interruption. Only full-day absences are included. Students may report multiple times if multiple instances of consecutive days absent occur within the date range entered. Example: 3 is entered in the Consecutive Days field for the date range of 9/1/2020 - 4/1/2021. A student has been absent for a full day on the following days:
In this example, the student will report twice. |
| School Year *Required | Identifies the school year the report will use. The School Year will default to the one selected in the Campus toolbar. Only students enrolled in the selected school year are eligible to report. If reporting on a prior school year, the prior school year's data must be aggregated and synced to the state to report. Only students with primary enrollments to a selected school calendar will report for the school year selected. |
| Report Date Range | This option narrows the report only to include students whose consecutive absences fall within the date range entered. If no dates are entered, the Start Date and End Date fields will default to the earliest calendar start date and latest calendar end date across all the calendars of the schools selected. |
| School *Required | Identifies the school(s) the report should include. When a school is selected, all eligible calendars associated with it are considered. Use the CTRL and SHIFT keys to select multiple schools. |
| Student Selection Filter (Ad Hoc) | Narrows the report only to include students found in a previously created Ad Hoc filter (optional). |
