Attendance Recovery

The Attendance Recovery enables districts and schools to track and manage student attendance recovery days across defined reporting periods.

At the district level, the Attendance Recovery – Reporting Period Set Up page allows administrators to configure P1, P2, and EoY/P3/Annual date ranges for each school year. These date ranges define the periods over which attendance recovery days are calculated for students.

At the school level, the Attendance Recovery page on a student's California State Information record allows staff to:

  • View system-calculated recovery days for each reporting period (P1, P2, EoY/P3/Annual, and Custom Date Range)

  • Manually enter override values for recovery days when adjustments are needed

  • View total absent days and last refreshed timestamp

Override fields accept only numeric input. Calculated fields are read-only and are determined by the system based on the reporting period date ranges configured at the district level. Student-level records can only be submitted at the school level. Submission from the District Office is not allowed.

For schools using PowerSchool to configure and manage Attendance Recovery (AR), designating the Attendance Recovery–exclusive school as a remote or summer school is not mandatory. The Attendance Recovery and Expanded Learning Indicator checkboxes on the school setup page are always visible, regardless of school type. This allows configuration of Attendance Recovery at non-summer schools and enrollment of students directly into AR sections without creating a separate school enrollment record.
