Student Day Totals Page
Use this page to view a student's attendance day information as determined by the Day Totals Calculation. The totals, which are based on the attendance views set up for your building, can apply to either the regular school year or summer school, depending on the environment selected.
Each day shows the membership value, building, grade, and calendar. If a student was absent on a day, it also shows the attendance code and absence with the subsequent breakdown displayed in periods or minutes, depending on the view.
