❏ Under Calendar Operational/Instructional Minutes:

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.
