Setting up attendance exception rules

Based on the daily attendance code that PowerSchool SMS generates for each student [>>], you can have PowerSchool SMS alert you to unusual attendance patterns that merit appropriate action. You can specify each such attendance exception by setting up an attendance exception rule [Figure 105]. For example, you can set the system to alert the homeroom Teacher when a student is recorded tardy 5 times in a week, or alert the School Secretary when a student is absent on 3 consecutive days.
