Issue

The Populate All-Day Code Automatically option is enabled in School Settings

Teacher marks a student absent

Teacher changes the absence code to Tardy

All-Day Code is not updated, it remains as absent


Environment

Period Attendance where student's only have one period

  • Example: K-8 school where grades K-5 have one class and grades 6-8 have multiple classes. 


Cause

Aeries is working as designed. Once a student has an Absence Code, even Unverified (usually "A") the code will not be updated via the Populate All-Day Code Automatically option, because this option only updates blank all day codes for the Teacher Portal.


Resolution

1. Disable the Populate All-Day Code Automatically option in School Settings

OR

2. Create a process at the school for when a student is late 

  • Example: Communication between teacher and office staff to remove the A from the All-Day code
