Clearing attendance records

As a School Administrator, you may encounter circumstances in which you need to clear attendance records. One such circumstance is when you need to make changes to a student record such as attendance records for future days. Another circumstance is when you have to clear attendance for an exception day [>>], such as a snow day.

You can clear attendance records for any or all students in any or all classes. You can clear attendance records for any date or date range as long as it is in the current Active Calendar year. In a school that takes attendance twice daily [>>] you can clear attendance for an entire day, but you cannot clear attendance for only the morning or afternoon.

Note: If you clear attendance for a past date, re-initialize that day before allowing PowerSchool SMS to recalculate daily attendance codes [>>]. When you re-initialize the day, PowerSchool SMS reassigns the default daily attendance code; otherwise PowerSchool SMS assigns the first code in the daily attendance code rules list [>>].
