Attendance Conversions

Set up attendance conversions to calculate attendance. You can create multiple attendance conversion methods, such as Full Day or Half Day. For example, a student receives only a half-day of attendance credit if he or she is absent for two to four periods and receives no credit if absent for five or more periods. After creating attendance conversions, set up attendance conversion items.

View Existing Attendance Conversions

To access existing Attendance Conversions, navigate to the Attendance Conversions page.

Students with one FTE can have a different set of conversions than students with a different FTE.

The types of attendance conversion items you can create or edit include:

• Period - Use to define the number of periods in which the student must be present/absent to receive the number of points ADA value you define.
• Code - Use to define the full-day ADA value you want a student to receive when a specific attendance code is given.
• Time - Use to define the cut-off points for attendance and the ADA value a student should receive at each.
• Percent Period - Use to define the percent of periods in which the student must be present/absent to receive the number of points ADA value you define.
• Percent Time - Use to define the percentage of time for which a student must be present/absent to receive the number of points ADA value you define.

Period and Time conversions work with daily attendance and partial attendance and can contribute to both full day and partial day ADA values. Whereas, code conversion only works with daily attendance and can only contribute to full day and partial day ADA values.

One of the following displays for each attendance conversion item entry:

• Defined – Indicates attendance conversion items have been defined.
• (NONE) – Indicates no attendance conversion items have been defined.

Values may vary slightly when Day Part Attendance is not enabled.
