Automated Handling of Absentees

Requirements to implement Absentee Slips

  1. The school creates a SQL view, uvEdSmart_Absentees, for EdSmart

...

  1. to read each morning. The view needs to deliver these columns:

  • schoolStudentId

  • absenceDate

Where absence date is the date of absence - i.e. we can read it each morning and it gives us the unexplained absent students for the day.

That way we can query it along these lines;

Code Block
SELECT  schoolStudentId
FROM    uvEdSmart_Absentees
WHERE   CONVERT(varchar, absenceDate, 101) = CONVERT(varchar, GETDATE(), 101);

2. EdSmart Support enables Absentee Slips Module for the school in Admin and sets up read of data from the Absentee SQL view.

3. The school creates Parent Slip Template which will be sent to contacts for Absentees

...

4. The school turns on Absentees by going to Absentee Slips and setting up the following:

  • Set ‘Enable Absentee Slips’ to Yes

  • Choose Form Template for the Parent Slip that will be used

  • Setting the Slip Title

  • Choosing a folder to save Absentee Slips in

  • Choosing days of weeks to send Absentee Slips

...

5. Absentee Slips that are sent each day can be found under Parent/Student Slips, and responses can be found under the Responses tab.
