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.
