Student Attendance SOP Toolkit for K–12 Schools

The Student Attendance SOPs Toolkit is a set of implementation-ready standard operating procedures that helps K–12 schools run a clear, consistent, and audit-ready attendance system—from daily submissions to tiered interventions to weekly and monthly data review.

This toolkit includes three core SOPs that work together as one cohesive system. Each SOP spells out roles, timelines, and step-by-step procedures so your team can reduce errors, strengthen follow-through, and use attendance data to support students early and equitably.

Recommended for: Operations Coordinators, Directors of Operations, Deans/Counselors, Principals, and Attendance Leads
System Alignment: Student Attendance System Suite

What’s Included

This purchase includes a PDF toolkit with the following SOPs:

• SOP 1: Daily Attendance Process (submission, verification, tardies, outreach, reconciliation, archiving)

• SOP 3: Attendance Data & Insight Review (daily checks, weekly review rhythm, monthly equity reflection)

Note: The SOPs reference related tools (e.g., a Student Attendance Dashboard, Intervention Tracker) as supporting resources, but this PDF is the SOP toolkit itself.
