It would be helpful if we could see the number of consecutive absences for our daily attendance report. Many teachers/administrators ask "How many days in a row has this student been out?". If this number was included in the report for more than 1 day of absence from school, it would be extremely helpful.
This would allow us to follow up on potential issues such as long term illness or truancy. Very hard to track now using existing reports - we need to run them daily, or export the data into a complicated spreadsheet to identify consecutive dates.
Great idea.
What an excellent idea. This would make tracking consecutive absences so convenient.
