In PowerSchool there is a function specially designed to find students that have never missed a period of school or perfect attendance. This function can be run for the entire district or by a specific group.

The Search for Perfect Attendance function in PowerSchool can be found under Special Functions on the home screen of PowerSchool. The function gives you the ability to ignore codes in order to find those students that have never missed a period.  The reason the function allows you to ignore attendance codes is to give the ability to ignore things such as GUI (guidance), FT (fields trip), SF (student function), etc. These codes are all important codes, but they are different versions of being present.  Being able to ignore specific codes also enables the function to work in other ways, such as who has never been suspended, or who has never been tardy.
