Next Year Campus Options (Attendance)

Attendance > Maintenance > Campus > Next Year Campus Options

This page allows you to set next year campus options for attendance. If the campus has multiple campus calendars, you must establish a separate set of attendance options for each attendance track.

Update data:

FieldDescription
Track

Select the attendance track. Only tracks established for the campus in the Attendance application are listed.

Click Retrieve.

  • For an existing track, the data is displayed.
  • For a new track, a message is displayed indicating that no campus options exist for the track. Click OK.
Grading Cycle Type

Select the breakdown of semesters and cycles for the campus.

AM/PM Flag

Indicate when the Average Daily Attendance (ADA) posting period occurs.

ADA Posting Period

Type the two-digit class period when the official ADA attendance is taken. A student posted absent for this period is considered absent for ADA purposes.

If you use alternating schedules (e.g., A-Day and B-Day), you must use the same ADA posting period for both schedules, and for all tracks. This field should be set to the common (“extra”) ADA period as described below for Alternate Days.

1st Period Nbr

Type the two-digit first period of the school day for which attendance is recorded. The period is not necessarily the same as the ADA posting period.

Last Period Nbr

Type the two-digit last period of the school day for which attendance is recorded.

Nbr of Periods

The total number of periods is calculated and displayed when the record is saved. The 1st Period Nbr is subtracted from the Last Period Nbr, and the difference plus one is the total number of periods for which attendance records are maintained.

Special Programs

Select the special programs offered at the campus.

About Title I:

Type Kindergarten

Select the type of KG program offered at the campus. Leave blank if the campus does not offer a KG program.

This field is used during ASDR to set ADA eligibility code.

Optional Semester

Select a semester to use as the default for the Semester field on Attendance > Maintenance > Student > Student Posting > By Individual.

blank - No default semester is specified. The Semester field will default to blank.
1 - Use semester 1.
2 - Use semester 2.
3 - Use semesters 1 and 2.
H - Use the current semester, as determined by the system (i.e., current) date.
Calendar Minutes

For 2018-2019 school year and later, the heading and fields displayed vary according to the Instructional Program Type associated with the selected Track:

• If the selected track is associated with Instructional Program Type 01-03, or 13-15, the heading is Calendar Operational Minutes.

• If the selected track is associated with Instructional Program Type 04-12, or blank, the heading is Calendar Instructional Minutes.

• Prior to the 2018-2019 school year, Instructional Program Type is not available. The heading is Calendar Minutes.

Refer to the TEA Student Attendance Accounting Handbook (SAAH) for assistance.

Calendar Operational Minutes:

Daily Minutes

Type the number of operational minutes per day for the campus. This is the minutes that a campus operated on a particular school day for the purpose of student instruction.

This value is determined by the LEA. You must enter this value even if it is the same as the TEA requirement.

TWEDS Data Element: SCHOOL-DAY-OPERATIONAL-MINUTES (E1571)

Shortened Daily Minutes

Type the number of minutes of instruction per day for the campus on a shortened school day.

This value is determined by the LEA. You must enter this value even if it is the same as the TEA requirement.


Calendar Instructional Minutes:

Daily Minutes

Type the number of minutes of instruction per day, as required by the TEA.

Refer to the TEA Student Attendance Accounting Handbook (SAAH) for TEA requirements and any applicable exceptions.

Shortened Daily Minutes

Type the minimum number of minutes per day for a shortened school day (e.g., early release/late arrival dates), as required by the TEA.

Refer to the TEA Student Attendance Accounting Handbook (SAAH) for TEA requirements and any applicable exceptions.


When these values are saved, the values are used to populate the campus calendar.

Alternate Days

This section is used if the campus has more than one period that is used for ADA period, such as for A-Day/B-Day schedules.

For example, the A-Day schedule may take ADA attendance during period 02, and the B-Day schedule may take ADA attendance during period 05.

For both days, an additional period must be created that is the same for both A-Day and B-Day. This must be a period when no students are scheduled. For example, if the campus has classes during periods 01-08, then period 09 could be used as the extra ADA period. This “extra” period must be the same for both A-Day and B-Day. Be sure this extra period is included in the 1st Period Nbr and Last Period Nbr fields.

When attendance is posted to either ADA posting period (e.g., 02 or 05), it is also posted to the extra period (e.g., 09).

NOTE: All tracks at the same campus must have the same “extra” ADA posting period. For example, if the campus creates period 09 as the extra period, then period 09 must be used for all tracks.


Code

Click +Add or press ALT+1 to add a code. A blank row is added to the Code grid.

Code

Type the one-character code to use for the pattern. For example, type A or B if you use A-Day and B-Day schedules.

You must create a code for each pattern. For example, create code A and code B.

Spyglass IconDetails

Click to select a code for which to add a pattern. A row is added to the Pattern grid allowing you to add a pattern for that code.

Details

Delete the code if needed.

Pattern

Click +Add or press ALT+1 to indicate the ADA period for the selected code. A blank row is added to the Pattern grid.

You must enter two pattern rows for each Code:
• Add a row with the ADA period when attendance is taken (e.g., 02 or 05).
• Add a row with the “extra” ADA posting period (e.g., 09).

IMPORTANT: The “extra” ADA posting period must be the same for all codes, and it must be the same for all tracks at the campus. This period must also be entered in the ADA Posting Period field.


Pattern

Type the two-digit ADA period.

Details

Delete the pattern for that code if needed.


NOTE: When using ALT+1 to add a row, you must press the 1 key on the keyboard, not the 1 key on the numeric keypad.



IMPORTANT! Be sure all tracks have the same ADA posting period for TeacherPortal:

On Attendance > Maintenance > TeacherPortal Options > Campus Options, set the A/B Day: Period ADA Attendance Taken fields to the periods when attendance is posted (e.g., 02 and 05).

Click Save.
