VCE attendance

With compass you need to check unapproved absences yourself. It is easy to do, though the language is little different.

Compass uses the term ‘VCE compliant absence’ where we use ‘approved absence’.

Also you need a little math to get the number of ‘unapproved’, or ‘Non VCE compliant’.

You need to consider the orange and pink columns (with the green underline in the lower image).

The Orange column contains all absences for which we have a Parent Note, then in brackets how many of those are ‘VCE compliant’ which means medical or Team Leader approved.

The pink column contains absences for which we have received no notification yet… A medical may be coming? Or not?

The total ‘unapproved absences’ which is the main game in our VCE policy is calculated as shown below. o

parent notified absences minus those that are ‘VCE compliant’ plus any with no explanation.

Obviously if a note or medical certificate comes in then absences will move from the pink to the orange column and the totals will change – but there is no guarantee one will.f
