Is there a way to set PowerTeacher PRO to allow teachers to take attendance after the current date (like there use to be in PowerTeacher)??
We have an afterschool program that does not always get done with attendance that day - she comes in early to prepare and hoped to be able to get caught up on the previous days attendance but I cannot see where I can adjust this in PTPro.
Thank you

I have two PowerSchool issues going on today and I'm wondering if they might be related or fixed by running a special operation. One student who is marked absent isn't showing up when we run the Absentee Report at Start Page > Attendance > Absentee Report. Another student isn't showing up in one F grade search, but appears in another F report.
Things just seem goofy. Is there a Special Operations function (under System > Special Operations) that I could run? We have a banner that says we were to be updated to 19.4.5 last Saturday but I see we're still at 19.4.3.
Thanks!

Does anyone have a process that auto-triggers an attendance email after a
specific number of absences, preferably listing the classes?
Our dean of students is looking for an easier way to notify parents when a student has been absent 6 or more times for a course, and then again at 10 or more times.
Right now, she can run a report (PSCB Custom Report > Meeting Attendance - Search by Frequency) to see the names and classes missed. From there, she can use the Multi-Select feature to pull the student names, use the Build Email List customization and send a generic email about attendance to the parent/guardian.
She wants an easier process that will allow her to list the classes missed in the email.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. We have School Messenger but after talking with my co-worker who manages that, I don't think that's an option.
Thanks!

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?

Is anyone else having issues with attendance not clearing from the database after you change it on the attendance page? It's not a huge deal to go to DDA and clear it out, but it should work better than that.

Is anyone else having a problem with the NSSRS Student Summary Attendance getting stuck in Report Que in PowerSchool?
I have tried it with the entire school and with just a couple of grades and it will not finish processing.
I have restarted ReportWorks and that finally stopped it (it would not cancel either).
Any thoughts?
Thank you

Is there a way to run a report on student absences that shows unexcused absences vs excused absences?
Thanks

Is it possible to pull all school attendance rates for previous school years?

The high school I'm at has been doing both period attendance and daily attendance. Really wonky and no one has been able to explain why. So we have a new principal and she wants to change to just period attendance. Do most high schools use period attendance? Can anyone think of why we would not want to switch to period attendance for the new year? Thanks!

I had a request at NEPSUG to post the attendance reports that prints the attendance comments. I found these on a web site, but it looks like they are no longer posted. I am attaching the zip file for the two reports called Student Attendance List.rpt and Attendance Detail - Students.rpt. They are similar but different in format.
Save and unzip the file. Go to System Reports > Engine tab > Load One Local Report. Select Browse and find the file to import. Select Import. Repeat the process for the second file.
You have to go to System Reports > Engine tab to run the reports.
Let me know if you have any questions.

I have a couple of rural school kids who are going to take Driver's Ed via DL. I used Enroll in Another School to get them in the class. What I'm worried about is Attendance, ADA/ADM, and anything else that would affect NSSRS. Does anyone have any experience with this and have any advice for me?

I am having a few issues with attendance at our district. Some of the schools had errors in the calendar setup, some had scheduling issues and errors, and etc. I am trying to fix everything and get it going before our Student Summary Attendance reports are due. Out of five schools, I think one is working correctly and has everything set up as it should be! I know part of our issue is incomplete schedules at one school. However, I have an issue with one day at the high school that shows a zero for attendance in the ADA/ADM for all students. The date is the last day of school, shows in-session, shows the correct day and bell schedule, yet when you look, it is already showing no attendance for students that day. I am including a screen shot here: (The date in issue is 5/20/14.)
Any ideas?

Does anyone use the attendance tracking at all? If so, thoughts?
Also, is there an easy export to get students with more than 5 days absent, etc? I think I have it, but just want to see if there are better ideas than what I am doing.

Does anyone know how I can change the timeout option for PowerTeacher Attendance? Teachers would rather not have to log in each period to take attendance, which they never had to do until recently. I haven't changed anything, but maybe a recent update might have triggered something. Pearson Support told me to change the time at School > Attendance Preferences > Interval Duration. This didn't work; teacher still has to log in. Any ideas? Not a pressing issue. TIA.

I have a few teachers that cannot take attendance in some of their sections (classes). The single day attendance doesn't show anything:
But the multi day attendance does:
I looked at the sections and courses, but don't see anything there different ... anyone have any ideas how to fix this?
It's been crazy this year...I think the craziest start ever to a school year!

How do you change the sort order of periods? I'm going to School Setup > Periods > Edit Period but I'm not able to change the sort order. The attendance secretary wants the attendance period ("Period Z") listed first, as it was last year. I've looked at last year's Periods and Period Z shows as 9 in the sort order. Is there a way the attendance secretary can sort periods on her end? TIA!

This year, our freshmen are required to stay on campus during lunch and the high school wants attendance taken. They were wondering if there was a way to keep track of attendance by punching in the lunch number so staff would not have to take attendance.
I did make a period for lunch.
We serve alacarte lunch, so I set up "brown bag" lunch in addition to the regular menu items, so they could punch in and not have any cost assessed if they do not actually eat from the lunch room.
However, it does not really differentiate the grade levels in the lunch reports. I was thinking we may have to run a lunch report for freshmen each day and then put in attendance from the office. Not ideal.
Any thoughts on this?

I have an ADA/ADM report that I ran for my HS and it shows 170 membership. When I run my attendance summary to upload to the state, I show a total of 171.5 (when I add days present and days absent).
After counting calendar days less snow days, I show I should have 170 days total. I am wondering if something in my conversion is wrong...
We have an 8 period day plus an additional period that we have labeled advisory instead of a number-so it's essentially a 9 period day.
Any suggestions??

I am trying to print the attendance report with any comments that have been made on a student.
For example - if a student is absent for one class because of a doctor appointment our secretary comments on that one absence so that we know why that student was gone.
Is there any way when we print the attendance report to include those comments for the student in the report??

Just and FYI for everyone. I was worried about getting this report done so I asked the state and this is the information they emailed me.
The Excessive Absenteeism Monthly Collection for August/September will open on October 1st and will be due October 10th. The October collection will open November 1st and close on November 10th. Each month will follow as such until the May/June Collection which will open June 1st and close June 10th or, if your district operates school into the month of June, 10 days after the last day of classes for your district.
