• Student Attendance - Chronic Absenteeism business rules have been updated!
  • During the school year, a student is projected as potentially Chronically Absent if they miss 10% of total instructional days for any reason,  once they have been enrolled for at least 50% of the school days. This is applied to both the numerator and denominator. Check out the on page Read Me for more information. See the Student Attendance user guide here!
     
  • For users with District-level access – for the overall Chronic Absenteeism Rate for the entire District, consult the District Quick Report. The overall rate displayed on the Attendance Overview page Chronic Absenteeism rate reflects school level rates and should not be used for district reporting. See user guide here! Prior year data may not align completely with state official results, but it does reflect data from PowerSchool.
     
  • The Chronically Absent Risk Levels has been updated. Note that the 50% enrollment rule is not taken into consideration with the risk levels. You can also consult the At Risk: Chronic Absenteeism report to identify students at risk of becoming Chronically Absent. Check out the on page Read Me for more information. You can find the user guide !
     here!
