Absence Codes

In order for attendance history to be accurate, all absence codes must be configured correctly.  Please refer to the following link for detailed information Absence Codes

Several fields in Attendance History are calculated based on the flags set in the Absence Code (ABS) table. The Absence Code table can be accessed through View All Forms in Aeries Web or Client.

Absence codes that are flagged as a Partial Day > 30 Minutes Truant or as an Unexcused Absence – Verified will count towards the Attendance History Truant count. The Truant Count will include any day that a student has a period or all day attendance code that is marked as an Unexcused Absence –Verified or Partial Day > 30 Minutes Truant.

Absence codes that are flagged as Suspension will count towards the Days of Suspension count. The suspension count will include any day that a student has an all-day attendance code that is flagged as a Suspension in the Absence Code table.

Absent codes that are flagged as Suspensions and Yes to ADA will count in the Days In School Suspension field in Attendance History.

Absent codes that are flagged with the Independent Study Complete will count in the ADA Generating Independent Study Days field in Attendance History.

Absent codes that are flagged with the Independent Study Incomplete will count in the Non-ADA Generating Independent Study Days field in Attendance History.

All other counts (Absent, Excused, Unexcused, Tardy) are based on the all-day attendance code.
