Tool Search: Positive Attendance Summary Report

The Positive Attendance Summary Report displays the sum of the attending minutes from all positive attendance records during the specified time frame. This report can be generated using the Student Summary option, which lists attendance data alphabetical by the student's name, or the Course Section Summary option, which lists attendance data by course section.

Report Logic

Only positive attendance records are included in this report.

  • When the Student Summary option is selected, only students scheduled into a Positive Attendance course are reported.
  • When the Course Section Summary option is selected, only Positive Attendance courses and teachers of those courses are available for selection and included in the report.

Attendance data is grouped in the following order:

  • (Student Summary) Year, School, Calendar, Teacher, Student OR
  • (Course Section Summary) Year, School, Calendar, Course, Student

The calculation of minutes is based on a single time value. If a student drops a course section and re-enrolls in the same section at a later date, the attendance minutes do not duplicate.
