There are instances when a blocker course should be used to record attendance for students. These courses start with an "N" and should already be loaded on your course deck for your use. These blocker courses are available to use in every school; however, the course may need to have sections added before students can be scheduled. Students scheduled in these courses must be marked absent daily. If you need assistance with loading the course to the course deck or adding sections submit a ticket. To submit a ticket follow the screenshot below:
No Show - Course Number N90130
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. When enrolling in the NO SHOW course, use the next school day.
This must only be used when student has never attended and staff are attempting to locate them. While students are in this course, carry out appropriate attendance interventions (log interventions on the student's PLP log), complete the Unable To Locate Student Form. Once completed, and signed by the Principal, submit an electronic withdrawal/end date request form via CCSDAS. Certify will generate a violation when a student has been scheduled into the No Show Blocker for more than 15 days.
Unable to Locate - Course Number N90135
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.
While students are in this course, carry out appropriate attendance interventions, complete the Unable To Locate Student Form. Once completed, submit an electronic withdraw request form via CCSDAS. Certify will generate a notification when a student has been scheduled into this blocker course for more than 15 days.
Located - Not Attending - Course Number N90137
This course is similar to the No Show course, except this is for students that have been located, but are not attending school. While students are in this course, carry out appropriate attendance interventions, and log the interventions on the student's PLP Log.
Non-Attendance Course Blockers
Cross enrolled students that do not attend their school of primary enrollment due to a secondary enrollment to a program MUST be scheduled into the appropriate blocker course at the home school. The schedule start date must match the secondary enrollment date. This can be found on the enrollment tab. These courses do not require attendance collection at the home school of enrollment.
