This year we are adding a zero hour into our class scheduling.  Not all students will have to sign up for a zero hour class.  For instance, the kids that play JH sports will sign up for the zero hour as part of their PE credits. Some of the zero hour classes will be for HS students as well.  Not sure how to set it up where the attendance data reflects that this is an extra period.  

Does anyone have any experience with setting up something like this in PS?  

Does anyone have a way to create a student alert when a student hits so many days of being absent?  I find that trying to remember to run an attendance report gets pushed to the back of my mind with multiple other things needing to be handled at once.  What does everyone else use?  Is there a customization that will send an alert on the attendance page or that has a way to track total absences on the attendance meeting page?

When I go to run my report cards for the Elementary we have two different ways teachers have them listed.  By percent grade for grades 3-6 and by S/U grades for K-2.  My percent report cards are printing as they should.  When I print my K-2 report cards, I end up with a percent.  I have went into set up in system reports and changed from percent to current grade.  This gives me blank report cards.  

Is there a spot in PS that allows me to print the S/U grades?  Or is this something that the system is no longer capable of?  

Also, if there is no grades in some subjects, it gives that child a 0 instead of a dashed line.  Any ideas on fixing that?
