Student Daily Attendance
This object provides daily attendance information for a particular student in a particular school on a particular date.
Multiple instances of this object can be sent for each student daily. As this is a large number of objects, vendors can elect to send only the instances where the AttendanceCodeInfoRefId represents an AttendanceType other than “Present.” In these instances, the SIF_Event reporting will only reflect when a student is absent, tardy, etc. They will be assumed Present otherwise. Note: If the SIF_ExtendedElement (InSchoolSuspension) associated with this object indicates a “Yes”, the object MUST be sent regardless of what the AttendanceCodeInfoRefId represents. This will help to control the volume of SIF_Events locally for a district server. If desired, all SIF_Events, including “Present” can be sent as well.
It is expected that this data can be retrieved via a SIF_Request from the state at any time and that the SIF_Response will be able to include all StudentDailyAttendance records for all students regardless of the AttendanceTypeCode referenced by the AttendanceCodeInfoRefId for the current school year at minimum. OSDE may make a request similar to this on a weekend day when district servers will not be as likely to have the workload a normal week would place on them.
This object is updated to correctly process the Time Between Periods feature to ensure accurate attendance calculation in the following scenarios:
When there is a record in the Attendance table indicating the student was marked present or absent.
When there is no record in the Attendance table, assuming the student is present by default.
The update ensures passing time is included in attendance values, preventing miscounted absences.
