Set full time for many students at once

Some students are part time in your SIS but should count as full time for a while, for example a student on site all day who takes one college class this semester. You can now set that for many students in one step.

• Set FTE for students: from Attendance → Part Time Students, pick the students (filter by building, grade or name, or select everyone who matches), the percentage of time attending to use, and the start and end dates.
• Automatic end date: after the end date, the student goes back to the value from your SIS with no extra step.
• Safe from SIS updates: your nightly SIS refresh never overwrites or ends an override.
• See what's in effect: Part Time Students shows each student's FTE today and a badge when an override applies, and Active overrides lists every override you've set, with an option to include expired ones.

Attendance Dashboard updates

More from Attendance → Dashboard, including chronic absenteeism the way the state measures it.

• Chronic absenteeism by the state's method: a chronic absence rate calculated the way the state report card does it, so you can compare your numbers with the state's during the year. A student counts once they have enough school hours in your date range, and is chronically absent at 10% or more of those hours missed. Your threshold-based figures stay as they are.
• Cards that follow your workflow: Total, Qualified, Pending and Complete, the same stages as the Qualified Students pages, so the dashboard and your daily work agree. Each student counts once, at the stage they've reached.
• See the students behind a number: click a card, building, grade or threshold to open the list of students it counts.
• AIT category filter: narrow the dashboard to one AIT category.
• Download a summary PDF: the district and each of your buildings, with the filters you picked. Figures only, no student names.

As always, every panel explains how it's counted.

Discipline Dashboard

Your district's discipline referrals at a glance, on one page under Discipline → Dashboard.

• Headline numbers: referrals, students referred, incidents, and referrals per school day for the dates you pick.
• The reports you already know: average referrals per school day by month, plus referrals by time of day, day of week, location, behavior, grade and student, each with a chart and a table.
• Filters: narrow everything by date range, building, grade and outcome, such as referrals with a disciplinary action recorded.
• See the students behind a number: click a row in any breakdown to open the list of students it counts.
• "How is this counted?" Every panel explains exactly what it includes, so the figures are easy to trust and to share.

Everyone with discipline access will see it, scoped to the buildings they're assigned to.

Add shortened and non-school days in bulk

Setting up the school calendar takes a lot less clicking. From Manage → Shortened Days, district admins can:

• Repeat a shortened day: pick a building, its times and day length, the weekdays and a date range, for example every Wednesday this semester. Check the preview, then create them all at once.
• Shortened days for every building: start from each building's own times and day length, adjust or leave out any building, then create them together.
• Non-school days in bulk: add breaks and other days off for one building or all of them, as a date range or on chosen weekdays. Days already marked off are skipped, and the preview flags dates that also have a shortened day.
• Edit and delete: change a shortened day for one building without touching the others, or select several and delete them in one go.
• Replace an existing shortened day: the single-day form now matches the new layout and can replace a shortened day already on that date instead of stopping with an error.
