Attendance | Classroom View | MTSS Dashboard Report

We need a way for Admin and non-admin with permission to view reports users to see a view the classroom report by attendance so that they can make informed decisions for MTSS Interventions for both the staff and the students in their district. We need to make sure that if the admin has clicked on a classroom from the admin dashboard that they can easily return to the report that they were looking at before they selected the classroom.

User Story

As a district level admin overseeing building(s), I need to be able to view the classrooms in my building or district through an attendance only lens.

UI:

  • The user can view the Attendance Classroom Report by navigating to Classroom Dashboard > MTSS > Attendance tab

    • Absences graph and table information

    • Tardies graph and table information

 

 

 

 

Acceptance Criteria:

  • Given I am a user and I have the MTSS Intervention component and I navigate to Classroom Dashboard > MTSS > Attendance tab, I will see the attendance tab of the classroom report for the selected classroom.

  • The Absences and Tardies graphs will show Tier 1 %, Tier 2 %, and Tier 3 %

    • The “Not Available” section will not show on the Absences and Tardies graphs

    • Settings for Tier 1 begin at zero percent (0%) and by default a student without absences or tardies is Tier 1

  • Will we show cumulative Absences/Tardies for the entire school year for the student/classroom/etc

  • Given I am a user who is viewing the classroom report, I will see the Absences Tier (recommendation), Absence Rate (for the specific student), and the total number of absences for the student.

  • Given I am a user who is viewing the classroom report, I will see the Tardies Tier (recommendation), Tardies Rate (for the specific student), and the total number of tardies for the student.

  • Given I am a district/building level admin or a non-admin with permission to View Classroom reports and I have the MTSS Intervention component and I am viewing the Classroom overview, I will see the recommended tier level, absence/tardy rates, and total counts for absences/tardies of individual students who have measured at the Tier 1, Tier 2, or Tier 3 level based on the cut score settings on the graph for the given areas for the selected time frame.

  • Given I am a user who is viewing a classroom report, I will see the yellow/orange Attention icon for a student that is flagged for Tier 2 based on the cut scores.

  • Given I am a user who is viewing a classroom report, I will see the red Attention icon for a student that is flagged for Tier 3.

  • The Attention icon shows the user that the student has been marked as in that specific tier level based on the cut scores in the settings area.

 

Account Settings:

  • We will show a column Absences Tier and include the Tier assignment as specified in Account Settings. (See image: Absence Selected for Absence Tier column name.)

  • We will show a column Tardy Tier and include the Tier assignment as specified in Account Settings. (See image: Tardies Selected for Tardy Tier column name.)

  • We will show an ongoing Absent Rate and the Tardy rate calculation for each absences and tardy recorded as specified in Account Settings.

 

At Risk Indicator

How Risk Indicators work for Attendance (Absences and Tardies): Rounding Rules

  • Absences and Tardies work the same way.

  • As explained on the page Attendance Mapping | Powerschool, the attendance rate will be rounded to the nearest whole percentage. The information below is to spell out how tiers and At Risk Indicators would work if the attendance rates had two decimal places, for clarity.

  • Use image: Attendance Settings as example (See left).

    • Given the absences calculation is below 7.50%, then we will NOT show an At Risk Indicator.

    • Given the absences calculation reaches 7.50%, then the Tier 2 At Risk indicator will show.

    • Given the absences calculation is between 7.50% and 9.49%, then the Tier 2 At Risk Indicator remains.

    • Given the absence calculation reaches 9.50%, then we will show the student as Tier 2. The Tier 2 At Risk Indicator would be removed.

    • Given the absences calculation reaches 12.50%, then the Tier 3 At Risk Indicator will show.

    • Given the absences calculation is between 12.50% and 14.49%, then the Tier 3 At Risk Indicator remains.

    • Given the absences calculation reaches 14.50%, then we will show the student as Tier 3. The Tier 3 At Risk Indicator would be removed.

  • At this time Attendance does NOT have Approaching Indicator functionality.

As an admin user, I need to see the list of students that is generated from my search criteria in the Overview, ELA, Math, Behavior, SEL, and Attendance tabs so that I plan the next steps for students with similar needs.
