Report Logic

  • Reports the student's most recent Primary enrollment within the selected calendar(s) with only one record per student. 
    • When more than one primary enrollment exists within the selected calendar(s), the enrollment record with the highest enrollmentID is used.
  • All enrollment data is cumulative, including:
    • Days in Attendance
    • Days in Membership
  • For No Show enrollment records:
    • When extract Effective Date < November 1st in the selected year, AND the SIMS Extract Editor has 'Pull No Shows (Summer Withdrawals)' = Checked, reports a record for the 'No Show' enrollment when this enrollment is the most recent (latest Start Date) Primary enrollment across all calendars selected on the SIMS Extract Editor.
    • When the SIMS extract Effective Date >= November 1st in the selected year, AND the following conditions are True, the student reports a record for this enrollment in the SIMS report:
      1. Student's most recent (latest Start Date) Primary enrollment across all calendars selected has No Show = Checked.
      2. The enrollment marked 'No Show' has Enrollment Status in the 20s or 30s.
        1. Current 20s values: 20, 21, 22, 23, 24.
        2. Current 30s values: 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36.
      3. SIMS extract editor has 'Pulls No Shows (Summer Withdrawals)' = Checked.
    • When the SIMS extract Effective Date >= November 1st in the selected year, AND the student's most recent (latest Start Date) Primary enrollment across all calendars selected on the SIMS Extract Editor has 'No Show' = Checked, AND the 'No Show' enrollment does NOT have an Enrollment Status in the 20s or 30s, does NOT report a record for this student on the report, even when the SIMS Extract Editor has 'Pull No Shows (Summer Withdrawals)' = Checked.
    • When the most recent Primary enrollment is marked 'No Show' and satisfies the population criteria, Days in Attendance and Days in Membership fields will report ‘555’ for the ‘No Show’ student.
    • When student has a Primary enrollment in the calendar year within one of the calendars selected on the SIMS Extract Editor that does NOT have 'No Show' = Checked, AND student has an earlier enrollment with 'No Show' = Checked, AND 'Pull No Shows (Summer Withdrawals)' = Checked on the SIMS Extract Editor, the earlier 'No Show' enrollment is ignored.
    • When there is > 1 enrollment in the same calendar, the report record sums the Days in Attendance and Days in Membership fields from all Primary enrollment records that do not have 'No Show' = Checked.
    • When there is > 1 enrollment in different calendars, the report record sums the Days in Attendance and Days in Membership fields from all Primary enrollment records that do not have 'No Show' = Checked.
    • When there is > 1 enrollment in the same OR different calendars, the report record sums the Days in Attendance and Days in Membership fields from all Primary enrollment records that do not have 'No Show' = Checked.

Generating the SIMS Extract

  1. Select SIMS Extract as the Extract Type.
  2. Enter an Effective Date in mmddyyyy format or by clicking the calendar icon and selecting a date.
  3. Select the Format in which the report should generate. Use State Format (CSV) for submission to the state and HTML for data review and verification.
  4. Mark Pull No Shows (Summer Withdrawal) if student's with No Show marked on their enrollments should still be included in the report.
  5. Select an Ad hoc Filter to limit records reported.
  6. Indicate which Calendar(s) should be included in the report.
  7. Click Generate Extract to view the report in the selected format or Submit to Batch to schedule when the report will generate.

Users have the option of submitting a SIMS report request to the batch queue by clicking Submit to Batch instead of Generate Extract. This process allows larger reports to generate in the background, without disrupting the use of Campus. For more information about submitting a report to the batch queue, see the Batch Queue article.

Days In Attendance

The cumulative number of days a student has been present in the district from the beginning of the school year to the reporting date. Only primary enrollments are included in this calculation.


Report the number of instructional days minus the number of instructional days the student was absent where the student attended in person (Absence Excuse code = Absent and Excuse = Unexcused, Excused, or Unknown) in Primary enrollments.

 

A day is counted as absent when the student has number of minutes absent >= System Administration > Calendar > Calendar Info > Half Day Absence (minutes).


When the most recent enrollment is marked 'No Show' and satisfies the population criteria, a value of 555 is reported for the No Show student.


A half-day is calculated as follows:

  1. If both Grade Level -> Half Day Absence and Calendar -> Half Day Absence are populated, use Grade Level -> Half Day Absence as the half day minutes to compare to.

  2. If only one of Grade Level -> Half Day Absence or Calendar -> Half Day Absence is populated, use the populated value as the half day minutes to compare to.

  3. Else, add up instructional minutes and divide by 2. Use this value as the half day minutes to compare to.


A student is considered in-person if they are NOT in a blended learning group OR they are in a blended learning group where there is NOT a day event on that instructional day or there is NOT a Virtual Day Override Event on the calendar.

Student TruancyThe number of school days a student was recorded as truant.

Acceptable Values/Code Description:
000–261 Number of days truant.


Reports the value in (Student Info>General>Enrollments>State Reporting Fields>Truancy Days) from the most recent enrollment.

Else:


Use Federal Chronic Absenteeism calculation

Attendance will be calculated as follows:

  • Sum of minutes scheduled
  • Minus minutes with an "Unexcused Absence" marked attendance code
  • If value is greater than or equal to 1/2 the scheduled then day is counted as 1
  • If the returned value is NULL, report 000
  • Only calculate for in-person days. 
    • A student is considered in in-person if they are NOT in a blended learning group OR they are in a blended learning group where there is NOT a day event on that instructional day Or there is NOT a Virtual Day Override Event on the calendar.

Note:
1. Truancy is defined as an unexcused absence based on local school district definition.
2. Truancy is cumulative throughout the school year. If the student had four days by October 1st and accumulated four more in January, March data should report eight days.


The sum of days truant plus the number of days in attendance cannot be greater than the number of days in membership.

Days Absent Remote

Report the value in the Virtual Truancy Days field as of the Extract Report Date.


Else:

Count the number of days where a student is attending virtually and has an Attendance Code with the Status of "Absent" where they have been marked for greater than  the half day absence calculation.


Note: If there is more than one enrollment, calculate each enrollment absent count, then sum across the enrollments.


Half Day Absence Calculation:

  1. If both System Admin>Calendar>Grade Level> Half Day Absence and System Admin>Calendar>Calendar Info> Half Day Absence are populated, use Grade Level -> Half Day Absence 

  2. If only one of System Admin>Calendar>Grade Level> Half Day Absence or System Admin>Calendar>Calendar Info> Half Day Absence is populated, use the populated value

  3. Else, add up instructional minutes and divide by 2

Note:

  1. The calculation will look at "Present Minutes" if using the Check In/Check Out function in the Attendance Wizard (If nothing filled out, assumes student is gone the entire period)
  2. To determine virtual, look at the blended learning group the student is in and the instructional days the blended learning group is added to the calendar as a day event OR there is a Virtual Day Override Event on the calendar.

Note: When using the Virtual Truancy Override field on a student enrollment record, you must set up Virtual Day events or a Virtual Blended Learning group in System Administration > Calendar > Days. 


It is important to ensure these Virtual Days events are entered or each Blended Learning group is added to the corresponding day in order for the Virtual Days Truancy field to calculate correctly for the Days Attended Remote. Failure to do so will result in incorrect data.
