Defining attendance reporting periods

An attendance reporting period is a date range that the school sets up each year and is used to generate attendance reports on a school's student attendance. While a school must have at least one attendance reporting period per school year, a School Administrator can define several periods for the course of a school year; for example, one period per month. The periods must not overlap. Typically, the number of periods a School Administrator creates depends on state reporting requirements.
