Period Attendance Report
After first creating the class schedule using the Bell Schedule Maintenance program, this program will generate a list of students with absences by class period during a specific grading period. The Bell Schedule will determine the time the class period will begin and end.

Setup Options
Year - Defaults to the current year. A prior year may be accessed by clicking in the field and making the appropriate selection from the drop down list.
District - Default value is based on the user’s security settings. The user will be limited to their district only.
School - Default value is based on the user’s security settings. If the user is assigned to a school, the school default value will be their school site code.
From Date and To Date - A set of dates that limits the selection of records for the report to a beginning date (from) and an ending date (to) range.
Grade - Leave the field blank if all grade levels are to be included. Otherwise, choose the desired grade.
Skip Codes - By leaving the Skip Codes blank in the set up box, you will ONLY see Unexcused absences as the program is designed to skip all E and P codes. Once you add a code to skip, you will be able to see all Unexcused and Excused absences. Be sure to select all numeric codes for the same alpha code. For example, if you select 03 P to be skipped then you must also select 04, 11, 34, 37, 40, 42, 45, and 47.
Show Remote Scheduled - If this box is checked, then those students who come to your school from another school in the district will be listed in addition to regular students.
