Summer Session Informational Bulletin – Elementary Schools

Information Technology Services 1

Introduction The purpose of this bulletin is to provide instructions to schools on the computerized requirements and procedures for the summer session. This bulletin identifies school responsibilities, Information Technology Services (ITS) responsibilities, and timelines for each. It is imperative that schools fully understand the information contained within this bulletin. Since the time constraints during the summer session are limited, duplications or omissions will adversely affect the quality of the students’ records, as well as the school’s FTE. The first section within this bulletin outlines the procedures for adding the summer students to the District Student Information System (DSIS) file. The second section deals with the adding and updating of courses to the master schedule and student file.

Identifying Students Categorizing of Students for Summer Entry

In order to facilitate data entry, it is suggested that schools group their student entries according to the following categories: Category 1: Active students attending the same summer center as the current school. Category 2: Active students attending a different summer center from the current public

and charter schools. Category 3: Inactive students from a private school.

Category 4: New students from a private school.

Category 5: New students from a public school (outside the County).

Category 6: Inactive students from a public school.

Category 1 Students will be programmatically coded R01.

Category 2 Students will be programmatically coded R02.

Category 3 Students will be programmatically coded E03. Students should be entered with the proper entry or re-entry code. Refer to the Appendix for the valid entry and re-entry codes and explanations.

The entry or re-entry code for the students in Categories 1-3 will be created programmatically by ITS, based upon information currently on file and information entered.

When entering those students that are classified as being in Categories 4-6, schools must enter the correct entry or re-entry code.

If clarification is needed on assigning the appropriate entry or re-entry code, please call Attendance Services or submit a HEAT self-service ticket and select Ask ITS a Question for the incident type.

State Requirements The Florida Department of Education (FLDOE) requires each District to report each course and the minutes per week spent in each course via FTE processing. In order to adhere to these requirements, it is essential that the steps in this bulletin be followed. For the summer session, students will be scheduled for only one academic class and a homeroom class. Due to the limited course offering, Information Technology Services will not programmatically create the Course Offering and Master Schedule. This process must be done at the open summer centers. The instructions for this process are found on the following pages.

Establish School’s Course Offering and Master Schedule The following procedures are necessary to create the school’s master schedule. Step 1: School should determine the number of teachers required. Step 2: Assign each teacher a unique alphabetic, numeric or alphanumeric 3-character

teacher number. This number will also serve as the students’ homeroom section. Ex:

A third grade teacher, Jones; JON or 301

Two teachers, same last name, Smith; SM1, SM2

Teachers to be announced; TB1, TB2, etc. Step 3: Schools must obtain the M-DCPS employee number for each teacher being

employed for the summer session. If the teaching position is unfilled at the time the school is assigning teachers to courses, schools should leave the 6-digit employee number blank. When the teacher has been assigned, schools should enter the correct employee number on the COURSE RECORD screen (PF9).

Step 4: Determine what number of students are attending Summer School and/or the

reason. (Rising 3rd graders, etc…) Step 5: Determine the course(s) students are required to take…/ courses that will be

offered.

The period will be the same as the course that the student is being pulled out of (to receive the therapy).

The teacher information and room number must be added for each section.

Pull-out courses do not always meet five days a week. Minutes per week must be entered and the days of the week may need to be modified for each section.

On the COURSE RECORD (PF9) screen, the section for that speech class will be scheduled to meet during Period 01 and the days will be modified to meet only on Monday and Wednesday.

On the COURSE FTE INFORMATION (PF14) screen the start time might be 09:00 and the end time 09:30. The time will be multiplied by the number of days on the COURSE RECORD (PF9) screen which will equal the 60 minutes of speech.

Student Records for FTE Processing The summer activity screens within DSIS will be available to all schools after the open/closed schools are decided by Board Action. Schools should refer to the Summer Implementation Document for designation of eligible students and DSIS processing instructions.

Step 1: Schools should reference the Summer Implementation Document when preparing to register students for the summer session.

Step 2: Prior to the opening of the summer session, it is required that all summer

students be assigned to a homeroom section. Teacher information on the COURSE RECORD (PF9) screen must be entered for each course.

Once the respective course and master schedule files have been updated with the required teacher information, schools may enter the students' schedules (academic and homeroom courses).

Step 3: Schools must update or correct the STUDENT SERVICES screen for all summer

students who are eligible for additional FTE funding. This includes any student classified as SPED. Schools should refer to the Summer ESE and Dropout Prevention section of this user guide for instructions. For Dropout Prevention, only the Program Information will be updated weekly during the crossover process. Course information (School, Course, Employee number, Hours and Minutes/Week) will not be displayed.

Step 4: Schools should order the following reports through the ONLINE REPORT

REQUEST SYSTEM:

Summer Student List - alpha/homeroom/grade. Verify that all anticipated summer students have been entered.

Summer Special Programs Listing - select proper sequence for school records. Verify that all anticipated LEP or Special Programs information has been entered.

Summer Class Master List/Seat Inventory – By course sequence or by teacher number. Verify teacher employee numbers (6-digits) and teacher numbers (3-characters) are correct.

Student Locator – List of students with their schedule. Alpha/homeroom/grade to verify students have correct classes.

Schools should be preparing their records (ESE, LEP, etc.) for FTE processing. ITS will programmatically assign the correct Basic, or Exceptional, or LEP funding category to each student based on the information entered on the STUDENT RECORD/SUBJECTS screen (PF1).

When entering students into the summer session, schools must place the students into a homeroom designation that is identical to the unique teacher number (3-character) designation (that appears on the PF9 screen).
