SIS UPDATES    Printing Report Cards by SIS Elementary Report Cards are now being processed and printed by the SIS office. Due to the change we have removed admin and teacher access to print Report Cards using Cognos. If a teacher notices discrepancies between their gradebook and report cards, they or the TSS should contact the campus admin. Campus Admin have a process to request reloading of the Data Warehouse if necessary.

SIS UPDATES    Letter Recognition Competency Curriculum and Instruction requested that the Kinder and Pre Kinder Letter Recognition Competency only reflect “+” for developed and a blank for still developing or not yet introduced. This replaced what was there previously of “/” for introduced, a check for met the standard and a blank being not introduced. There was a small hiccup when those codes were changed. They should all be fixed now and teachers can enter these marks.

SIS UPDATES    Report Card Comments Reminder all Report Card Comments should be entered on the Pillar of Character Competency. Comments entered anywhere else will not print on the Report Card. Report Card View in HAC While we are processing Report Cards parents and students will not be able to access the Report Card screen using HAC. Once grades are finalized and approved by the Campus Admin, we will turn this back on so they can see the Report Card grades. Advanced Search: Report Card Language Available in Subscriptions Some campuses want to see a list of students’ Language of Correspondence before the report card process to verify it is correct. This is a tool and not required. We want to stress to the employees who are changing the language for Report Cards, to do it on the addresses page ONLY. Go to the Addresses page in Quick Search and change the Language of Correspondence field.

SIS UPDATES    Call Outs- Attendance Posting Times Beginning 10/28/19, attendance call outs for absent children will go out at 10:30 am for all elementary students. Most campuses require attendance to be entered at 9:00 am, with a window from 8:50 am to 9:10 am being acceptable. Teachers, remember that even if all kids are present they need to open the attendance page and save it. All attendance must be entered by 9:45 – as data will be pulled at 9:50 for the call outs.
