A school has Attendance Enrollment records but no Course Attendance records, and school has already started

Environment

  • Scheduling type: Elementary w/MST, Secondary, or Flex

Cause

A user selected the Update Attendance button on at least one student's Demographics page, so Attendance Enrollment exists. But there is no Course Attendance for any student because the Initialize ATT/CAR process has not been run.


Resolution

The Initialize ATT/CAR process needs to be run.  But there are additional steps to be taken.

1. Prior to running it, a query must be run to find the students who started after the first day of school.
  • The caveat is that this is contingent on the Enter Date being updated on Demographics when the student started:
  • LIST STU STU.ID STU.NM STU.ED IF STU.ED > ##/##/#### 
    • Replace ##/##/#### with the actual 2nd date of school
    • Save list for Steps 3 and 4


2. Initialize ATT/CAR. Since there are ATT records, the user will need to select the box Check here if you want to Initialize ATT/CAR again




3. Using the Query List from Step 1, go to each of those "Gained" student's Attendance Enrollment page and adjust the Enter Date.

4. Using the Query List  from Step 1, go to each of those "Gained" student's Course Attendance page and adjust the Start Date for each Section.
