This report is used to create a count of Tardies (attendance code 14) and Late To School (attendance code 19) for a given date range. It will also look at the time that school starts and compare the check in time of the student which is the state defined way of considering student tardy. A tardy by the state's definition is anyone who enters school late or exits school early, not simply based on the codes.
- The report can be printed and/or emailed to persons on the school/district staff.
- Some districts don't use the codes of 14 and/or 19.
- Letters MUST be created in Letter Maintenance before any letters can be printed.
- To get a list of students with no tardies, see the Perfect Attendance Audit.
Main
On the left navigation panel, select Attendance > Count > Tardy Analysis.
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.
Grade - Leave the field blank if all grade levels are to be included. Otherwise, choose the desired grade.
Team - Leave blank if all team names are to be included into the report. Otherwise, choose the desired team.
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.
Skip Excused Tardies - Attendance code 14 Tardy can be marked as "excused" or "unexcused".
- If checked, "excused" Tardy records will not be counted in the report.
- If not checked, "excused" and "unexcused" records will be counted in the report.
Include Unexcused Late to School/Early Departure - Attendance code 19 (Late to School/Early Departure) is used when a student comes in late to school or checks outs early and is used for truancy issues. It checks the tardy based on State definition of a tardy (late to school/early leaver) and not just codes 19 or 14. If this option is selected then the "Only Include Unexcused Late to School/Early Departure" option will not be available.
Only Include Unexcused Late to School/Early Departure - If selected, the program counts only the code 19 records and no other tardies. The printed report will show "Only Late To School/Early Departure" in the heading. If this option is selected then the "Include Unexcused Late to School/Early Departure" option will not be available.
Show Students Who Have a Tardy Record for the To Date - Select to limit the report to only students who have a Tardy record on the actual To Date chosen. This is a helpful option if this report is run daily. By selecting this option, the report is limited to showing counts only for students who have a Tardy only on the actual To Date.
Do Not Print Previously Printed Letters - This will uncheck the students who had previously had a letter printed for the desired letter name, while all students who have not had a letter printed will have a check mark to be printed.
Tardy Counts - The number that is entered in each of these squares will show up in the columns on the report. The numbers/counts that appear there after clicking OK are NOT student counts but are Tardy counts. Upon clicking on the tardy count number, you will have a list of students with exactly that number of tardies that you entered in the box.
- In the report, PTD (period to date) represents the count of tardies using the From Date and To Date.
- YTD (year to date) is the count of tardies for the entire school year as determined by the sponsor site.
Tardies >= - This value would override the preset numbers in the above boxes. If you enter a number in this box, after clicking OK, you will get a number/count of tardies (NOT student counts). Upon clicking on the tardy count number, you will have a list of students with tardies of at least that number entered or more (>=).
