In reporting the data for BOY and EOY, do I include preschool students? What if their schedules are different, for example, some go 2, 3, or 4 mornings a week, do I need to track them separately?

Answer:

The students in your instructional Preschool program will need to be tracked and their attendance
reported by number of 1/2 days they are required to attend their programs. For example, a student who
has a program that meets 2 mornings per week will have a total number of 1/2 days attendance and
absence around 72 if they attend all year (out of a possible 360, the number of 1/2 days that school is
open and available). You may need to set up separate calendars for the different programs so that your
Student Information System can report the correct # of 1/2 days for these students.
