We have a policy in which grades get reduced when a certain number of classes are missed within a given term. The existing attendance notification function is based upon total absences across the school. But, this is complicated as, for example, 15 absences could mean 3 full days with each class being missed just 3 times OR it could be just one class was missed 15 times ... VERY DIFFERENT scenarios and thus the auto notify can be quite misleading. When the threshold is approaching or is reached, the teachers engage the student and parents. Having this info at teacher's finger tips each time they take attendance would be very helpful. More helpful would be to have an easy messaging option and/or some form of triggered work flow.
