Attendance audit by section
The original question was: "How do I run a report about frequent absences/tardies?"
There are probably a zillion ways, but here's one:
1. System Reports -> System -> Class Attendance Audit:
2. Set a date range (I did Jan 1 thru today), select "ALL TEACHERS", and check the box for homeroom:
Leave the rest of the options as their defaults below that and hit submit. It will take awhile (like 2 or 3 minutes?) When it's done, click "Completed" and it will open a new window. Scroll through that and you should see roughly one page per month per section, and you can scan through it to see the chronically tardy or absent. Example:
I think Mackenzie needs to go to the principal's office. ;)
