SY2021 EMIS Virtual Training Dates
These meetings are mandatory for Support Specialists and attendance will be recorded based on the Training Exit Ticket. Please see the Agenda below in the newsletter. Principals/Administrators are copied as a courtesy but not required to attend.
Error Reports - Did you know there’s more than one Cognos error report that lists EMIS-related errors?
- The PowerSchool Data Audit report, which you receive via email, tells you what there are that could keep student data from being submitted to the state. Think of this report as ‘pre-submission’ errors. This report updates daily. So you can run it yourself the next day to see if you made the appropriate corrections.
- The EMIS FD and FS error reports list errors that we get after we submit our student data to the state. Think of these reports as ‘post-submission’ errors. These reports do NOT update daily. They are updated approximately once a week after data is submitted to the state.
Both pre-submission and post-submission errors are important and need to be corrected.
To access any of these reports, see our FAQ on Bread Crumb to Cognos Reports.
To download/print these reports, click on the blue arrow in the white circle at the top of the Cognos screen. Select Run Excel. The file will download to your “Downloads” folder on your computer. Go there to open it.
Address Updates - Pandemic-Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT) Program Cards
It is imperative to enter address changes as soon as they are received. This is due to required updates from ODE for demographic data for Parents to utilize available resources.
For P-EBT questions/confirmation, please send the student's name, date of birth and student ID number to Ebony Johnson. If the student is eligible, the Parent or Guardian will then need to follow up with Job and Family Services. For questions regarding P-EBT, Families will need to contact the P-EBT customer service line at 1-866-244-0071

If the student is not listed, we will research and get back to you.
