When managing student attendance and schedules, districts should be aware of the following potential issues:

• Overlapping Schedules: Students should not have more than one attendance course scheduled in the same period.
• Enrollment vs. Schedule Dates: Student enrollment dates should align with the dates on their schedule to ensure accurate attendance tracking.
• Overlapping Periods: Periods should not have overlapping minutes, as this can cause errors in attendance calculation.
• Lunch Scheduling: Lunch periods should be contained within a single period for minutes to be removed correctly from attendance totals.
• Semester End Updates: When adjusting semester end dates (e.g., to accommodate snow days), the Course Table should also be updated with the new end date to ensure accurate reporting.
