Section Attendance Status
Introduction
The Section Attendance Status reports all sections in a school that have not taken attendance for a particular day. It is a means to track and verify that initial attendance for a section has been taken on the calendar day of the school day for which the attendance occurred. Attendance auditing must be enabled. This is a school level report.
Notes:
For sections spanning multiple periods, each period is evaluated separately.
For sections using interval attendance, each interval is evaluated separately.
Attendance taken in PowerTeacher without a PowerSchool User ID will appear on the report.

The section enrollment must be associated with a school included in the report.
The section must not be excluded from state reporting

The section enrollment must begin on or before the report end date.
