Setting up attendance related to student behavior

You can set the system to assign an attendance code to a student when a specific student behavior action [About student behavior >>] is recorded for a student; for example, where a student is suspended for three days, PowerSchool SMS can record that student absent for each of those three days.

PowerSchool SMS sets the student's default attendance value to the attendance code assigned to the behavior action. The attendance code applies to periods in a school that collects class attendance, to half days in a school that collects twice-daily attendance, and to full days in a school that collects daily attendance. Where several behavior actions are recorded for a student on the same day and those actions are associated with different attendance codes, PowerSchool SMS assigns an attendance code by referring to the priorities on the Behavior Attendance Action setup list [>>]. PowerSchool SMS assigns the attendance code when the system is next able.

You set this up by associating an attendance code [>>] with an student behaviorattendance action, which a District Administrator sets up [>>].
