Add in the following information in your spreadsheet . . .
QUESTION: How to look at early graduates or older graduates
• This gives mid year grads for the current year
•/exitcode=w4
• 2nd day of school in August through right before
kids graduating at the end of school
• Summer School will be a w6
• Sched_NextYearGrade=99
– Means they are in process for the program to move
them to a grade of 99
• School: Graduated Students – will grow and grow
and grow. All students are in there together!
QUESTION: Ways to print attendance
QUESTION: Attendance notes from our LEA Coordinator
• You cannot get a daily and period attendance. They get a
cumulative total absences on report card based on the amount of
minutes they’ve missed. Period attendance is a joke…teacher’s
are not using it. Since teachers are not using it so its not
calculating it correctly.
• There are a lot of kids with 10 consecutive days and should’ve
been withdrawn. For it to report correctly to the state everybody
needs to take attendance.
• Students have to be physically withdrawal. If a student misses 10
consecutive days they are not counted in the background and are
placed in a different category. If present 51% of the day then
they are counted as present but if absent for more than 51% of
the day they are counted absent. Teacher A takes attendance
and then Teacher B, C don’t – the student just has a period
attendance….LEA decision based on period attendance.
QUESTION: List of “rights” you need in order to do “certain” things.

Pearson listened when our LEA Coordinator said we need more control over
security. We/LEA have a certain amount of groups we can set up.
EX: AIG teacher needed access to certain areas…took a day and had to “touch”
each individual item and open up each one of those and then go to the role and
decide if full rights, view only, no rights, group access, etc. Sometimes our LEA
Coordinator would take one role and copy/rename it and it takes forever and it
can be completely different in every LEA.
Nothing in our county was pre-set except for Data Manager and LEA Coordinator
Data manager – full access. Copied 1 from the data manager role originally
designed by DPI and our LEA Coordinator copied that and removed some of the
rights
There is no set CTE Role unless the LEA built one for their county
Find a role that has the least access and begin from there. Also, you could take
one that has full access and the LEA Coordinator will tweak it to the needs of that
person. Probably start with the Data Manager role/copy it and then tweak. Even
that one is hard because it is wide open for almost everything.
QUESTION: There are something like 300 fields and 50 look like the same thing…is there
a legend for these fields? Explain how these fields are pulled in and created
• The first 300 or so in the field list are by Pearson & DPI.
• If High School A and High School B etc. builds an activity then
it goes to this field list AUTOMATICALLY
• Even w/no students in the activity it still keeps the field
• EX: rename aig#
– Remove all these students (4169)…go to student field value and put
under “value” “aig” and click “Clear Field Value” then rename the
activity at each school level and then go back here “Student Field
Value” and put in the new name and add it to the same student.
– Our LEA already has AIG, 504, homeless, LEP, HLSL(home language),
Migrant, Military Families, PRC-29 (through EC dept. kids they track),
YMCA Rise, Speech
– Data manager inputs the activity group w/students
QUESTION: Easy IEP & PowerSchool
• Easy IEP is talking now but don’t know the
onset plan for how often it will update…it’s
showing LD (learning disability), review date,
etc….but still no accommodations
QUESTION: GPA for CTE students only
• One way:
– Pull student schedules
– Export schedules
– Filter by classes or department
• Another way:
– Select group of kids, search by GPA, select teacher
(see next screen)
QUESTION: Once you get the appropriate field in this screen submit, export to Excel and
manipulate the data as needed
.
QUESTION: is there a way to “flag” potential CTE Concentrators and get a list?
• Diploma Analysis Report (which currently is
NOT pulling this information for rising seniors)
• NC Graduation Requirement Screen – again
not real reliable
