Create a district wide option for supplemental attendance so that we can capture EXLP off site 3rd party attendance.
Under state rules, Attendance Recovery may be claimed for any qualifying day between July 1 and June 30 of the school year. Incoming pre-enrolled TK students are not enrolled until school begins, often in mid-August, and Supplemental Attendance will not allow time entry for dates before a student's enrollment begins. As a result, Attendance Recovery time cannot be recorded in Aeries for the period between July 1 and the student's enrollment date. A solution is needed so districts can capture Attendance Recovery time for incoming students who qualify before they are formally enrolled.

It would be helpful to have a district-wide Supplemental Attendance section that allows students from multiple schools to be enrolled in a single section. During summer programs, we often have students from four schools attending one site, and without this option, managing separate sections and logins creates more work than necessary. A district-level session would greatly simplify this process.

I, too, fully support this idea, as it would be a significant help.
We also offer expanded learning programs—such as summer and winter camps—to all students across the district. However, with the current functionality, we’re unable to utilize supplemental attendance for these programs.

It would be great if we could enroll students, regardless of their school of attendance, into a single section in Supplemental Attendance.
We are a smaller school district, so when we offer programs like Spring Academy—designed to provide additional support to students—we often have students from various campuses attending one or two schools. For this reason, I am trying to create a section that includes students from all three of our elementary schools, organized by grade level. However, this is not currently possible. The alternative option I was given is to create a separate section for each school and grant the teacher access to each campus. As a result, the teacher would need to log in to three different schools to manage supplemental attendance.
One option I tried was creating a Supplemental Attendance session with a School Code of 0, hoping I could add students from all campuses. However, this approach didn't work. It would be great if there were an option to create a district-wide Supplemental Attendance session
