We need a way to see the full history of a student’s Attendance for absence and tardy so that patterns can be detected and appropriate interventions can be put in place.
Design:
User Story
As a teacher user, I need to see a full picture of the student’s attendance history so that I can determine patterns and provide the student with appropriate tools and intervention plans to help them develop healthy attendance habits.
UI
To view the attendance, user clicks on the attendance tab.
Acceptance Criteria
Follow same rules for top section containing the student demographics, Academic Needs, Other Details and the Year Selector drop down explained in Overview.
Given Attendance Tab is selected, user sees the attendance totals for the selected year.
User Story
As a teacher or admin user viewing the Attendance tab, I need to see a graphical representation that is easy to understand so that I get a clear understanding of the percentage of absence and tardy and the tier levels of each.
Absent Rate and Tardy Rate Box
To view more or view less from the Absent Rate and Tardy Rate box, user clicks on View More and/or View Less.
Hover / Click Bars
To view the specific information about absences or tardies for a specific day, user hovers over or clicks on the bar.
Absent or Tardy records are updated daily.
Mapping (See: Attendance Mapping | Powerschool)
Use ATTENDANCE.STUDENT_NUMBER to identify the student
Use ATTENDANCE.ATT_DATE in combination with ATTENDANCE ATTENDANCE_STATUS and STUDENTS ENTRYDATE to signal if an absence or tardy occurred.
Absent Rate and Tardy Rate Box:
Follow same rules as shown in Behavior | Student View for contents of Absent Rate, Tardy Rate, Tier designation, View More and View Less. (See Incident Rate Box in Acceptance Criteria on Behavior | Student View)
Hover / Click Bars
Given a bar is clicked on or hovered over, we will show the number of days the student has been absent or tardy. (See image: Hover/Click)
Given an attendance bar is hovered or clicked over, we will show the message: Total Days Absent: [number of days].
Given a tardy bar is hovered or clicked over, we will show the message: Total Days Tardy: [number of days].
User Story:
As a teacher or admin user, I need to see the list showing the specific dates of absence and tardies so that I identify patterns in attendance.
UI

To view the chart for Tardies, User clicks on the drop box and selects Tardies.
