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.
Menu Location
On the left navigation panel, select Attendance > Count > Period Attendance Report.
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 your security settings. You will be limited to your district only.
School - Default value is based on your security settings. If you are assigned to a school, the school default value will be your school site code. You will not be able to change this
value. If you are a supervisor or other district office employee with access to the Student Information System, you will be able to run programs for one school, a small group of schools, or
all schools in your district.
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 - Grade level of students whose records need to be edited or whose names are to be included on a report. Leave the field blank if all grade levels are to be included. Otherwise,
click in the field to the right of Grade(s) to select the desired grade level(s) to be included.
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.
