NEW TRANSFER SCREEN

The student transfer screen (STU.301T) has been altered to facilitate collection of information for the Single Record Student Database (SRSD). Most of the programs operate as it did before.

Index the student by name as usual.

Place the appropriate transaction letter on the action line (this letter will vary depending on where the student is coming from or where the student is going). Use these codes for:

S School-to-School transfer From one active DPS school to another.

O Out-of-District Transfer To another school district or non-public school

L Loss from School Student left but not to another school (also

includes expulsion and immunization reason

codes

R Return/Re-enroll Return from 9999

The school-to-school transfer will operate as it always has - the student is transferred into your building. The only difference is that you don’t have to put the E3 code at the end of the line.

The return transaction also operates as it always has. You will not be able to return a regular education student who has passed his or her 20th birthday or who has been dropped as a graduate.

If you choose the out-of-district transfer option, you will see a second screen with the list of acceptable codes. Place an “X” next to the appropriate code and press <ENTER> to complete your transaction.

If you choose the loss from school option, you will again see a second screen with another set of codes appropriate to a dropout loss – as well as expulsion and immunization reason codes. Place an “X” next to the appropriate code and press <ENTER> to complete your transaction.

The codes for out-of- district transfer (“O”) and loss from school (“L”) are listed below.

If you have any questions, contact your SIS Field Support or Coordinator, or the SIS Welcome Center Assistance Help Desk. Pager and phone numbers appear below:

Standard scheduling for elementary/middle schools

Block Scheduling

D

School need to enroll unassigned students into a homeroom (elementary/middle) before scheduling students into their courses.

Print homeroom/class lists periodically to assure all students are in the correct homeroom/class.

Distribute homeroom lists to teachers for adjustments before building foundation course for each homeroom group.

Enter ID numbers and “A” under “Opt”.

To delete a student, type “D” under “Opt”.

NOTE: A foundation course 1130 or 1240 MUST be built for every homeroom group in your building.

MASS CHANGE COURSE REQUEST

Each self-contained or platoon conference group will be assigned a unique section number. To facilitate this task, the three-digit homeroom number (we’re using 205 in this example) should be used for the section number.
