Clerk, Attendance

About the Role

The Attendance Clerk is a vital support role within the campus administration, dedicated to ensuring the accuracy and integrity of student attendance records. This position serves as the primary communication link between the school, students, parents, and faculty regarding attendance matters. The role exists to maintain compliance with district and state reporting standards while fostering a transparent and efficient attendance management system.

In this capacity, you will manage the daily flow of attendance data, verify student absences, and generate timely reports for administrative review. You will also handle specific data processing functions, such as PEIMS reporting, as directed by the Principal. Success in this role requires a high degree of confidentiality, particularly regarding student information protected under FERPA and employee/student data protected under HIPAA.

Work Environment

This position operates within a normal office environment on an assigned campus. The role involves regular use of office equipment, including computers, printers, and telephones. While the work is primarily indoor, it may require moderate physical activity, such as lifting or carrying items up to 44 lbs., and the use of hands for data entry and filing. The schedule follows the district-approved calendar, which may include protracted or irregular hours depending on operational needs.
