News & Updates

• Elementary School Scheduling Workshop - August 15, 2018
  • ​Group Webinar Trainging 9:00am-12:00pm (3 Hours)
  • Personalized Coaching Sessiones (2 Hours - To be Scheduled)
• Recommendation Screen May Not Show Courses for Students After Rollover
  • After you have rolled over we are seeing students with Next Year’s school filled in.  This should be blank because Next Year’s school would be for 2019-2020 and you have not run the update to fill that in yet. Any student with this situation will make the screen not show up for staff trying to work with Recommendations. The issue is that there is a Primary School/Year Record set in the system for this students with a Zero Sequence number for Calendar Year Sequence.
  • We have a script that can clear these out.
  • Remind staff they cannot fill in Next Year’s School field until someone creates the Next Year in the Calendar Year Table.

NOTE:  After roll over the District Configuration – iParent Configuration – iStudent Configuration screens need to be adjusted if you want to hide schedules. For example, the Current Prior setting will now show schedules for the new school year because the 2018-2019 year is now the current year
