The student class schedule and attendance summary displayed on the letter has been modified for a flex school. The teacher column displays the Primary Teacher of the class. The flex period will display the FTF.STI (short title). The attendance counts will pull from the CAT or ATT tables depending on the Letter Options. When the letter is sent, the CAT data is logged in the LTA table for each student and the ATT data is logged in LET.
Below is an example of a District Attendance Letter.
An option for a full attendance report is available when printing District Attendance Letters.
