Creating Codes for Student Attendance

Create attendance codes for users in your district to choose from when entering attendance records.

Aspen stores these codes in reference tables. The system contains the following types of attendance reference tables in which you can create codes for your district:

Reference table	Description	Example
Attendance Reasons	Reasons for entering a student attendance record.	You might create the attendance reason code FM for family matter.
Student Attendance Codes	The type of attendance record you are entering for a student.	You might create the student attendance codes A for absent, T for tardy, D for dismissed, and R for return.
