Attendance Guidelines • Review daily sign in/out sheets - Any incomplete or missing information should be corrected immediately. • Only count those students who have completed all of the fields on the Sign In/Out sheets. • Put a dot next to each student being counted for attendance. • For those programs who use sign in/out sheets for students who are not reported in the EMS attendance count: • Review daily sign in/out sheets and highlight in BLUE those students who do not count towards the EMS attendance count. Note on the bottom right corner of page. • Write the EMS student count page total on the bottom right hand corner and circle the number. • Write the EMS student count day total on the top page of the day’s package and circle the number. • Enter data into EMS. • Verify number of students in the hand count to the number reported in EMS

  5. Attendance Targets Attendance targets for FY 12-13 are in your contracts. The attendance for each school site for FY 11-12 has been posted on the ExCEL website. We have also prepared a listing of attendance targets for FY 12-13 that will be posted on ExCEL website.

  6. Delayed Arrivals The ASES & 21st Century grants require programs to begin immediately upon dismissal from the school day. For students who arrive after the start of program, please have them sign in and list the corresponding time they arrive. Grant funds do not currently require sites to track the reasons why students arrive late.

  7. If a site chooses to indicate reason for delayed arrival Staff can indicate that the student arrived late by: 1) writing DA for delayed arrival and 2) listing the corresponding code # in the notes/comment section. This may be helpful in situations when students participate in parallel programs immediately after school and/or arrive more than ½ hour late to program.

  8. ExCEL Arrival/Release Codes • ExCEL Arrival/Release Codes #s: • Parallel Program • Family emergency • Personal Family Circumstances • Medical appointment • Transportation • Community Safety • Child Accident • Other condition • School-related activity (i.e. meeting with teacher, preparing for a school event, etc).

  9. Instructional Aide Requirements This applies to both program staff and subcontractors who directly supervise students. V-BASP 19: BASP Accountability Staff Minimum Qualifications: The LEA/grantee agency ensures that all staff members who directly supervise pupils meet the minimum qualifications for an instructional aide according to the policies of the school district. (EC § 8483.4.)
