Displays the Daily Attendance for a class on the screen where teachers take Meeting Attendance. Also shows the Daily Attendance for the entire building and the count of absences and tardies for that class for the year. Put this file in the custom/web_root/teachers folder on the server after enabling customization.

Term activity
This is so great, thank you.
I was wondering though, if it was possible to either add or replace the YTD total of tardies with the term (Q1 or M1 in our case) total tardies.
thanks again

In order to do that, the code has to be completely rewritten. PowerSchool doesn't store the term attendance (tardies and absences), only the full course attendance. It can be done, but I haven't taken the time to do it.

YTD Totals not displaying properly
Thanks so much for this report. I'm having a problem, though, in the YTD section. Currently we have 4 periods that make-up our 'Homeroom'. This 'Homeroom' is where daily attendance is taken. The totals in this YTD section are all multiplied by 4. So, a student who has been absent only one day shows as being absent for 4. Is there a bit of code that I need to add? Or, is there a preference that I need to set to make this display properly?

You can modify the
You can modify the "Absences" and divide by 4. That should give you the results that you want.

I tried a few things that I thought might work. But, none of them did. Since my skills here are limited, can you tell me how I'd go about doing this?
Thanks.

Can this be used with Custom Web Page Management?
In fact, is there a downside to switching to the web page management? (We are on a hosted system) Thanks, Karina Gallie
re: Can this be used with custom web page management?
You technically could use this with CPM. If you are hosted it's probably the best option, however you need to realize you'll lose all of your photos. I'm not sure if 6.0.0.2 fixed that issue, but I don't think it did. But yes, this should work in CPM if you choose to use it.

Screen Shot
Do you happen to have a screen shot of what this looks like? I believe this is what I am looking for but I want to double check to make sure before we load this on to our server.
Thanks

re: Screen Shot
I have added a screen shot of my district's teacher attendance screen. This particular class only has one student in it and I've cut off the list of attendance on the bottom to only include 1 record as an example, not the whole list.
Also note that the screen shot has a second button which is the button for Classattendance Meeting Comments by Brian Andle.

Premier 6 and multiple periods
I just updated the page for Premier 6. While I was at it I also updated it so that it supports multi-period attendance the way PowerSchool expects it to.

Time
I'm trying to add Time in to the page. I was able to add the inner join to the attendance_time table and get the data to display, however instead of saying 7:31 AM it says 27060... I'm assuming this is because the time_in field is a "Time" field and not a text or integer.
What can I do to make it display the field as a time?

Jason wrote the code to display the time properly in his One Stop Attendance and I haven't copied it to this page. That's why I display the Comment field, I have my secretaries put the time in/out in there.

My Teachers want MORE!!
We are using this customized page. It is wonderful. We have stopped printing out daily attendance reports. However, my teachers are looking for a count of meeting attendance totals for excused absences and un-excused absences. Right now the page only totals daily attendance.
Any ideas?

Attendance for Multiple Sections
We were so excited when the option to take attendance for multiple sections meeting in the same period was avalible. But it didn't work for us. It doesn't show that attendance has been taken in the sections if everyone is present. I put all of the customizations in the folders as instructed. Is there something else that I need to do to get it to work?
Thanks,

Is it possible....
First I would like to thank you for all your hard work. I really appreciate all of your help.
I was wondering if it would be possible to add a column that contained the last date they received and unexcused absence?
We have a policy at our school that if a student was unexcused absent the last time this class met, he should be sent to the office to resolve the unknown absence. So my goal is to come up with a way to automatically tell the teacher whether or not to send the student to the office but I don't know if I could figure out how to dis-regard all the non meeting days between the last day attendance was taken so I will settle for the last Date the student was absent and let the teacher decipher the information.

That's difficult
That would be a little bit difficult and I'm not sure where to start on that. However, check out the 30 Day Attendance report that I just posted. It might meet your needs. I know that my teachers have been asking for that report for a long time.
