Setup Box Options

If you need instructions for setup values to be used, follow the link for Standard Setup Options. .

  1. 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.
  2. Include Unexcused Late to School: Attendance code 19 Late to School/Early Departure is used when a student comes in late to school. NOTE: The Tardy Analysis Report is for the tardy to class not tardy to school. The tardy to school is used for truancy purposes.
    • If checked, the Late to School code 19 records will be counted in the report.
    • If unchecked, the Late to School code 19 records will not be counted in the report.
  3. 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 on the To Date.
  4. Select the Tardy Counts for each box that you want to show on the report. NOTE: The first box cannot be changed. 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.
  5. Select Tardies >=--This value would override the preset numbers in the above boxes. If you enter a number in this box, 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 (>=).
  6. If you are printing letters then you must click the Letters button.
  7. A Letter Options setup box will appear.
  8. Select the letter(s) according to the policy for each grade range in the setup box.
    • 1-3 Letter
    • 4-8 Letter
    • 9-12 Letter
