CDS Attendance Audit


Introduction

The Community Day School (CDS) Attendance Audit report is an attendance audit report for the Community Day School program. This is a school level report that can be run by student or for a given teacher and period(s).

The report indicates in which intervals the student was marked present with a certificated or non-certificated teacher.

Notes:

  • If the student has two CDS special program enrollments during the report date range, then these two enrollments are grouped by referral method.

  • Weekend attendance requires the school to have enabled the attendance preference "Show Saturday and Sunday on attendance views" checkbox.

If you are on PS version 23.1 or higher and LTK Pref is enabled, when you run the reports with the selected school year 23-24 or higher, the mapped LTK grade values will be displayed.
