This tab allows you to create letter types in Attendance. Each type of letter is assigned a code and description and added to the letter type directory. Then, you create and save the letter on the Letter tab as a form letter or template using variables. The form letters and templates can be used to generate the actual letters.

The Attendance letters are campus-specific. They include absence letters, truancy letters, annual notifications, and general mail-out letters. All letter types, except the general mail-out letter type, create a letter control record.

• You can generate different letters for the same absence type.
• You can print different letters at the same time.
• The student address is used if the parent's address is incomplete or does not exist.
• Only one letter is generated for students whose guardians have the same last name and address.
• Letters are generated even if no parent address, student address, or guardian is found.
