How Daily Scores Work

When Daily Score is configured in the gradebook setup, a Daily Score column is available on the Attendance Roster screen.

Default Daily Score values are automatically populated based on the student's attendance status and the values defined in the Gradebook Setup screen.

• Students marked Present receive the default Present point value.
• Students marked Absent or Tardy receive the default point value assigned to the selected attendance code.
• If your district uses the Daily Score update process, attendance codes other than Present should typically be assigned a value of 0. 
  

For more information on default daily score values see SIS: Teacher Connect Gradebook - Daily Score Setup

Daily Score Update Process

Some districts use an automated Daily Score update process that updates daily scores based on the students attendance reasons.

The Daily Score update process runs each day at:

• 1:30 PM
• 12:30 AM

The process updates Daily Scores that:

• Currently equal 0
• Were modified within the last 7 days

Example

A student is marked absent and receives a Daily Score of 0. Several days later, the absence is changed to Absent Excused (AE) by the attendance office.

If the attendance code is updated within 7 days, the Daily Score update process will automatically change the Daily Score to the value determined by the CTC..

Note: Only Daily Scores with a value of 0 are updated by the automated process.
