Mississippi Absentee Report
This program displays a list of students with a specific number of consecutive absences as indicated in the setup box values. The program will also provide a means of printing letters to parents/guardians notifying them of their child's attendance status. To print a letter requires a letter to be created in the Letters module under the Student Master section of JCampus software.
