Enter detention cutoff date

To start managing detentions in your district, you need to enter a detention cutoff date. From this date forward, Aspen will track and manage detention data, and you’ll be able to take detention attendance.

Detention actions entered prior to the cutoff date will not be included on lists of unserved detentions.

If you've been entering detentions in Aspen for some time, but at a later date start using Aspen to take detention attendance and perhaps link conduct action reference codes to student daily attendance, you should enter a detention cutoff date to clear the previous detentions in the Aspen. Otherwise, you may get a long list of outstanding detentions from previous dates that may have been served. This allows Aspen to track served and unserved detentions from the date you enter.

To enter a Detention cutoff date:

1. Log on to the District view.
2. Select District > Setup > Preferences. The general preferences page appears.
3. Click the Category drop-down to select Conduct. The Conduct preferences appear.

   

4. In the Detention cutoff date field, select or type the date that you want to start tracking and managing detentions in Aspen.
5. Click Save.
