  2. Need utility to mass "uncheck" Doctor's Note Req

    Due to the excessive steps school districts in Texas must go through for truancy we have begun to use the "Doctor's Note Required for each absence" indicator in the Attendance screen. We then set up the Student Indicator attached to this requirement. This has helped the office staff in working with students who have too many absences. However at the beginning of the subsequent school year our truancy process starts over. We need a utility that will uncheck this indicator for all students to start fresh.

  4. Entity selection of entire district

    When maintaining the templates in PIMS it would be so much easier if you could select the entire district (000 school).

Also when working from and error report from PIMS you may only have the PA ID and not necessarily know the school they are in. Switching between can be very time consuming.
    when selecting a template enable to select school 000 that would give you all students in that particular template. This would help very much and be less time consuming.
