Monthly Student Attendance Report
Use the Monthly Student Attendance report to display attendance per student per day, including holidays. This report displays the days the student was not enrolled, absent, or in attendance. The days in session and carry forward, gains, losses, and ending enrollment appear at the end of the report.
By default, the codes and values included in the report represent full days of absences and attendance even if the school is set up with attendance conversions that count partial absences and attendance. When attendance is calculated using the Attendance Conversions (on the Attendance Conversions page), it is possible to get an attendance value of, for example, 1.5 for a 2-day period, meaning they were absent half a day in those two day periods. But the Monthly Student Attendance report does not report a 1.5 attendance. It reports 2 full days of attendance and 0 absences. It does not count half-day absences.
To include codes and values for partial day absences and attendance, select the Include Partial Attendance checkbox before submitting.
The report adjusts to reflect Clock In/Clock Out values if used when recording attendance.

Attendance Mode

- Use Default: Searches for and displays report output based on FTE. By default, this menu option is selected.

- Meeting: Searches for and displays report output by period.
- Interval: Searches for and displays report output by interval.
For more information about attendance modes, refer to Attendance Tracking Modes.
Menu options appear based on your attendance setup configuration. For the Use Default menu option to appear, FTEs must be set up and the “Use default settings” checkbox on the Attendance Preferences page must be selected.
