What must be included in the weekly attendance reports?

The accurate consolidation of all absences is essential in the weekly attendance reports as it ensures that attendance records are precise and reflect the actual participation levels of each cadet. This data is critical not only for tracking cadet engagement and commitment but also for overall program assessment purposes. It helps in maintaining accountability and allows instructors and administrators to identify patterns of absenteeism, which can inform decisions related to cadet support, interventions, and engagement strategies. Accurate attendance reporting is a fundamental aspect of managing cadet statistics effectively.

In contrast, personal comments from cadets, instructors' observations, and reports from parents, while potentially valuable, do not form the core requirement for attendance reporting. Attendance reports center on absence data to provide a clear, objective overview of cadet participation.
