This report summarizes student attendance for each period broken down by attendance category (present, absent, and tardy) [Figure 210]. Typically, this report is used to generate a list of students who are absent unexcused and subject to follow-up action such as a call to the home. Also, a School Administrator can use the report to monitor school-wide attendance.
