The Print Absence Verification Letter is an option that generates letters to be sent to parents informing them of their Students' excessive absences. The school must first create an Absence Verification letter regarding excessive absences. The Absence Letter Text Editor form is used to prepare these letters and can be reviewed using the Check Abs Verif Letter Text Editor option. Prior to using this form, ensure the text of the letter is accurate.
On the Absence Verification Letter page, if a text letter has not been set up, a message will display at the bottom indicating.
All Absence Codes marked 'Unverified' in the ATT.AL (All Day) field will be used to generate the letters.
This report has been modified slightly to hide the Print Address Information by default. If this information will be used on the letters, selecting the checkbox will expand to display additional options.
The Print Address Information will include options for printing the parent/student address, District or School address and the date of the letter. Other options include adding the school name when printed with the District's return address or adding the District name when printing with the school's return address. The address can be printed in all uppercase. The letters can also be printed using Double Window envelopes.
