Attendance: Ability to set unique attendance types for divisions (Lower, Middle, Upper)
Our lower school's default attendance of Absent, Tardy is always Excused because they are with parents. Our high school default attendance of Absent, Tardy is always Unexcused until they provide documentation or the parent calls. There should be the ability to attach the default attendance type to the grade level so reporting is accurate.

With the 1/28/25 release, attendance reasons can now be assigned to specific school levels. You can find this setting by going to Attendance > Attendance reasons (under the Setting menu on the right) > editing any attendance reason.

I have asked for this for years. Also need to be able to hide the "absent - no excuse" if not used. Have been told it's hard-wired in and can't be changed. At least let me put it at the bottom of the list so teachers don't accidentally choose it. I had an idea at one time in here about this but can no longer find it.
I meant yes! Thank you
