ALSDE Attendance Manual & Guidance
ALSDE Attendance Manual & Guidance
The Alabama Attendance Manual serves as guidance for each local education agency (LEA) to ensure clear expectations for student attendance, attendance reporting, and supporting services/interventions that have a positive impact on attendance. This manual was developed by your colleagues across school districts and communities in Alabama to provide updates on Alabama Code, PowerSchool Student Information System, and resources/procedures in relation to student attendance. The attendance manual can be accessed from the link below.

Understanding PowerSchool Attendance
This video goes through the entire setup of attendance configuration within PowerSchool. By understanding how the attendance settings have been set, users can find the best way to use PowerSchool's attendance features. In Alabama, the state records the Daily Attendance Values (DAV) to report present and absent status' for accountability purposes in the state. In PowerSchool, the FTE settings your schools make will directly impact how your DAV is calculated. This video shows how all of that is related and how your front offices will need to concentrate their efforts in attendance record keeping based on the settings your school has chosen.

One of the missing features of attendance from Inow is that Inow would automatically push 1st period absences to all other periods in the students schedule. Now while there is no way currently for this to happen automatically in PowerSchool, there is a way for schools to trigger this themselves. With a quick 1 minute task each day, you can recreate this feature by following the steps in the video below.
