How are Tiers Calculated?
The student's tier calculates by averaging the total number of days absent across all courses. There are Period and Attendance Tiers reports available:
Select Students' average daily attendance tier on the Daily Attendance Reports tab.
Select Students' average attendance tier on the Period Attendance Reports tab.
Review Student-Level Data
You can review student tier data in two ways:
From the main menu, select Attendance Insights in the Attendance section. Choose the school, and then select the student.
Enter the student’s name in the search bar, and then select the student.
On the student page, review attendance tier level by course.
