There should be no empty gaps in your students' schedules. We have created many blocker courses for your use to fill periods on your schedule when students are not in regular academic courses. These course numbers start with an "N" and should already be loaded on your course deck for your use. There are several 'blocker' courses listed below that can be used to denote where the student is during the course of the school day when not in a traditional classroom setting.
These blocker courses are available to use in every school; however, the course may need to have sections added before students can be scheduled.

| N90130 | NO SHOW | This is a blocker course for students who have not shown up to school but were expected to. Create a section of this course to span the entire school day, and enroll students into this course for attendance taking. This will take students off teacher rosters and will give you an accurate reflection of available seats. In addition, it will provide more accurate lists of teachers with high D/F or U rates at interim. When end-dating the original courses the students were enrolled in, use the current date. When enrolling in the NO SHOW course, use the next school day. | YES |
| N90135 | UNABLE TO LOCATE | This course is similar to the NO SHOW course, except this is for students that attended at some point during the school year but stopped attending.
