Click “Save the Record”
Use dropdown menus
and comment boxes to
complete page three.
As with behavior codes,
list the most severe
action first.
Primary Action is the
only required item on
this page. However,
some actions, such as
out of school
suspension, also require
a start and end date
(See Step 6, “Action
Code Map” for details).
Click “Save the Record”
Page four displays an Incident Summary. This can be generated as a PDF with or without
comments. A customized Disciplinary Action Letter is also available.
Step 4 – Using the Search Tool
The Search Tool allows users to search for incidents with a wide
range of parameters. These include date range, grade level, location,
behavior, and many others.
Step 5 – Using Reports
The Reports Tool contains several customizable reports. For example, the
Student Summary Report below displays all discipline referrals for the selected
student in the given date range. The report is customized to display data in
descending order by date and to include notes.
Step 6 – Behavior Code Map, Action Code Map, and Updates
The Behavior
Code Map
translates old
behavior codes to
new behavior
codes.
The Action Code Map provides
administrators with new action codes. This
map also indicates which action codes
require days within the application (also
noted in Step Three).
The Updates Page displays information
about updates that are applied to the
Discipline Management System.
