I have noticed when I add additional meeting attendance codes to the end of this report it is not sorting correctly. The first column does but additional columns do not.
For Example:
1
1
11
12
15
2
2
20
21
29
3

Confirm that the PSCB - Base Resource installed and enabled on your server?

When entering the attendance codes on the preference make sure the codes are entering consecutively with no blanks.

Example (Correct Order)
T
TU
1
AE

Example (InCorrect Order)
T
TU
1

AE

The blank box will disrupt the sort order.

Hope this helps.

It would be great for these reports to include attendance comment. That way I can look through the students that have missed for example 5 days or more, and see the reasons why. It would then trigger specific outreach.

Thank you!

I must be missing something but we can't get any of the reports to work, I have the base resources and the home page, reports all come up blank. We are on Powerschool 12.

PSCB

Thu, 09/13/2018 - 9:15am

The Home Page report menu links will appear for each PSCB Custom Reports bundle that is installed. If the menu is blank that would indicate that you installed the Home Page plugin, but no report bundle plugins have been installed and enabled.

Would it be possible to add the current grade for each section reported to each result? We would love to send out teachers this reports to reflect the absents and the reflection on the students grade.

I too would like have current grade with attendance reporting. We want to ask teachers to follow up with students receiving D's and Fs and want the absence count to be part of that report we send them.

Thank you.

It would be great when reviewing the daily attendance reports that have the column with comments. That the user could edit comments right in the report. That way, they wouldn't have to go back to the students profile, and attendance day and then update comment.

This would increase staff's ability to quickly review all attendance comments, but on the fly update the comment if its missing or there is other info that needs to be added/updated

This report is a variation of the PDS - One Stop Attendance report.

This report will generate a daily attendance report for a selected date. On the results page you can click on the attendance code to edit the code or comment for the selected student.

Hi ,
It would be great to be able to run a report for class ADA. We send out weekly update with classes with the highest averages, and we currently have to pull out the data and analyze in excel.

Thank you!

If the report does not work for a single school you need to check your attendance setup and student FTE/Membership values at that school.

We love your reports and appreciate all that you do! In the 'old' version of the Attendance Frequency Report we could 'Make Current Student Selection' which everyone found so helpful. Is that planned for a future release? Thanks again!

PSCB

Wed, 10/17/2018 - 4:22pm

Thanks for pointing out this omission, The "Make Current Student Selection" button has been added to the Meeting Attendance - Search by Frequency report. It will included in the next update of PSCB Custom Reports - Attendance plugin scheduled for next week.

Thanks! Just a suggestion but one I think would be very nice--would it be possible to have the report return attendance totals by code rather than a grand total?

Thanks again!

This suggestion has been added to the PSCB Enhancement request list.

I modified <td> where the student number is to turn it into a link to the student's attendance page in a new window. Just surrounded ~(student_number);t with <a href="/admin/attendance/view/meeting.html?frn=001~(dcid)" target="_blank">...</a>

We were running the above report and edited one students attendance comment. After saving and clicking on a new student. The pop up provided the current students attendance info, but the name displayed is the previous students name. If I try refreshing and selecting a new student, it continues to display the previous students name. Seems like there is a glitch with the display of current students name.

It does update the comment for the correct student, but can be confusing for someone while they are updating comments.

The issue you described is the result of a conflict with some 3rd party customizations of wildcards. This will be addressed in the next release of the PSCB - Custom Reports (Attendance) plugin.

It is the report generated by file named att_daily.html. It is accessed in more2 navigation pane Attendance Info file named more2.PSCB_AttInfo.leftnav.footer.txt

It is a beautiful report!

I do not see why 17-18 is missing for most students. It displays for just a few. It only displays for students who have no attendance years before 17-18.

PSCB

Wed, 11/14/2018 - 10:02am

The customization you are referring is part of the PSCB - Customization (Student Attendance Pages) plugin.

Confirm that you have installed and enabled the version 1.5.

1.5 (2018-09-10)
- The Daily and Meeting Attendance pages now display tabs for all of the student's enrollment years.
- Each tab now displays all attendance information for the selected school year.

Yes, I have PSCB - Customization (Student Attendance Pages) version 1.5 installed. I also installed PSCB - Custom Reports(Attendance) version1.6. You are right - the files I listed are in PSCB - Customization (Student Attendance Pages) version 1.5.

Tabs display correctly only for students who were not enrolled before 17-18 school year. For any student enrolled prior to 17-18, the 17-18 tab does not display.

I love these plugins but it would be easier for our staff if there were 2 separate plugins. One for meeting attendance and one for daily. We use meeting and our staff are always selecting the first on the list which is daily....thanks!

PSCB

Fri, 12/21/2018 - 2:39pm

Sorry, but we do not plan to offer this bundle as two separate plugins.

The plugins are freely posted and we encourage users to further customize them to meet the individual needs of the school district.

Since updating PSCB Base Resources to 2.0, the Custom Reports (_Home Page) to 2.0 and Custom Reports (Attendance) bundle to 1.7, whenever we run the daily attendance consecutive absences report, there is now a permanent loading screen after entering in the parameters. School uses daily attendance. PS 12.1.0

Please help! :-)

Hi, were having an issue with a handful of students when we run the Student Attendance - Daily Absences Alert. There are 2 or 3 students at each school who are showing up as being absent for almost the entire year. When we check on them individually on their attendance screen you can see that is not the case (some of them have not been absent at all). Any help is appreciated. Thanks

PSCB

Fri, 01/11/2019 - 11:48am

Check the FTE and MembershipShare values assigned to these students. If they are blank or incorrect you will get false attendance totals.

In "Meeting Attendance - Teachers Missing Attendance," we're seeing missing attendance for days we weren't in session, like during X-mas break and New Years. We had "in session" turned off for those days since that affects state reporting, but those days still appeared on the report. Turns out that we had to blank out Cycle Days for them to not show up on the PSCB report.

PSCB

Mon, 02/04/2019 - 2:43pm

In the Calendar Setup, the proper setup for not in-session days requires that Cycle Day, Bell Schedule and School In-session all be blank. Membership Value should be "0".

If the fields are not blank, it will yield incorrect results for numerous reports including attendance calculations.
