Absentee Report

Use the Absentee report to generate single-day period-by-period attendance code information. For example, you can use this report to search for students who received an unexcused absence code for the previous day. You can then contact the students' guardian to verify whether or not the student actually has an excused absence.

You can search for any absent or present attendance code that is stored in the database. However, instances where the absence of an attendance code indicating a presence is not searchable as the attendance code value is not stored in the database.

Run the Absentee Report

1. Navigate to the Absentee Report page. 

2. Use the following table to enter information in the fields:

   Field	Description
   Attendance Mode	Select one the attendance recording methods for which you want to run this report: Use Default: searches for and displays report output based on FTE. By default, this menu option is selected. If your school uses more than one FTE to differentiate students, such as full time and part time, and you want to run the report for those sets of students, the only way to effectively run these groupings with different modes and conversion items is to use the default. Daily: searches for and displays report output by day. Meeting: searches for and displays report output by period. 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 field on the Attendance Preferences page must be selected. For the Daily or Meeting menu options to appear, the Daily or Meeting fields on the Attendance Preferences page must be selected.
   Students to Include	Indicate which students you want to run the report for by selecting one of the following options: The selected students only to run the report for students in the current selection enrolled in the specified date range. All students to run the report for all students in the current school enrolled in the specified date range.
   Grades	Select the checkboxes of the grade levels you want to scan. Doing so takes the selection of students selected in the “Students to Include” section and narrows the selection to include only those students having the same grade level as those selected.
