mmm if it's a grade aspect, and this works for you, knobble the grade set with a new version with one grade - 'not to be used' a bit of a dodge but hey....

we're looking at the summer term codes here so Y is fine - as is Z for periods off roll

Look in Tools > Setups > attendance setup > codes > maintain codes We've had a couple of schools which have changed the statistical meaning of some of them meaning that SIMS bombs out at the create and validate stage the correct code list is buried at the bottom of this page Dave

Hi there just to add... if the data is stored as a number rather than a grade you can use the Marks to Grade formula Dave

They've been running scheduled maintenance on it today Dave

store their last year in an aspect and stick that in the report as a result tag :-)

create a student focus report with an Attendance Marks sub report- filters of date to be supplied and code is Absent on the sub report - deselect show with no such Dave

Perhaps the easiest way is to leave the pupil in the register they are expected to attend for the best part of the week and show the other teacher the Extra Name button at the top of the register Hello Graham! Dave

SIMS won't let you add the same aspect and result set combination to the same template and as each aspect/result set combination can only ever contain one result, they would end up overwriting one another if on separate marksheets I'd be swinging towards creating a mock result set Dave

Create a new version to allow other grades from a given date

Hi there There's a bulk edit screen at Tools > Housekeeping > Primary Contact Details it is possible to import parent email and telephone details from a csv but you will need a patch contact your SIMS support to get the patch and instructions on the file format Dave

Just a tip Formulas can only work on columns to the left of them - so start on the right Dave

Err admissions regs say you should admit pupils on their agreed first date of attendance - even if they don't show up https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/818204/School_attendance_July_2019.pdf The MIS and associated systems should be able to handle this (in SIMS this means ensuring that prospective students have a status of Accepted - i.e. the parent has accepted the offer of a place and intends to send the child to your school) Dave

Hi there but why would you want to? without Lesson Monitor (which is expensive) you would not be able to record lesson attendance the academic group stuff can be accomplished much more easily and at no cost using Focus > School > Academic Structure Dave
