January 8, 2014 To Superintendents Curriculum Leaders Principals From Rebecca Garland FALL 2013-14 ROSTER VERIFICATION Due to course enrollment issues discovered in the data extracted from PowerSchool, the Fall Roster Verification will be delayed one week. Principal/District Preview will begin January 20, 2013. This will allow the EVAAS system to process the correct data and ensure that teachers and administrators will have fewer errors in the rosters they verify. Below is the updated window. Please note that this will shorten the number of weeks the teachers have to verify their rosters from four weeks to three weeks; it will not extend the window past the original end date. FALL Window Principal/District Preview Teacher Window School Admin Verification window District Admin Window Duration (weeks) 1 3 2 2 Start End January 20 January 27 Feb 17 Mar 3 January 26 Feb 16 Mar 2 Mar 16 We have made adjustments to the Roster Verification based on your feedback and suggestions.
