In order to correctly calculate your attendance data, we need you to provide an export of your attendance code data.
Attendance Codes
This file is required to accurately calculate attendance for your district.
Navigate to Attendance codes and select Absence Types: Skyward > Student Management > Office > Attendance Box → Setup Link > Codes > Absence Types
- Then Click Excel icon in top right hand corner. Click on the Export option and choose "Export to CSV"
- Wait for the file to generate and then download the export.
- Upload the absence types files to My Data under Skyward SMS - Attendance
Funding periods
If your district is using funding periods to calculate attendance, please follow these instructions to share the funding period export with us.
- Navigate to Data Administration export: Skyward > Product Setup > Data Administration > Export
- Highlight CALENDAR-DAY
- Click “Export Data from Table” on the right hand side
- In the field list scroll down and check the checkbox for the field CAL-FUNDING-PROD. Scroll back up and click Export.
- For the dialogue about file format, click No, After it prints, click “View Report” button.
- Upload the file to MyData under Skyward SMS - Attendance
- Note: We have seen a bug on the Skyward side where this file export does not end up populating the funding period column. Please open your file to ensure funding period is actually populating (don't save it). If not, please work with Skyward to troubleshoot.
