Aeries has developed a new extract, available in the District application, with the data required to populate the CalDATT tools from Attendance Works. The CalDATT tools are self-calculating Excel spreadsheets that track chronic absences. They are free to all schools and districts and can be downloaded from the Attendance Works website. Once the extract is created, it can be pasted to the CalDATT spreadsheets to automatically generate the reports.
We would like to invite districts to use this new free tool to track chronic absenteeism and truancy and analyze the relationship between them as defined by California law.
More information on how to obtain these tools from Attendance Works can be found at: Attendance Works
