These meetings are mandatory for Support Specialists and attendance will be reported. Principals/Administrators are copied as a courtesy but not required to attend.
Attention High School Principals...
Follow this path: Team Content>SIS Date Warehouse Reports>Powerschool>Graduates>Cohort
Attention High School Specialists: Fiscal year student began 9th grade
- For all students entering ninth grade for the first time this school year, the following field on the FN tab must be updated to show 2021. If there are any Students without the accurate year represented please contact EMIS - emis@cps-k12.org
- This field is what sets the graduation cohort year for the student and it is imperative that it is accurately reported this fiscal year.
Data Issues - Withdrawal Dates
Records requests from other schools typically include an enrollment date for the new school or district. Please use that date as the withdrawal date, not the date that the withdrawal is completed. You will need to clear attendance back to the day before the new school/district's enrollment date.
Taking Attendance
- It's Crucial that Teachers take Attendance for every period/section bell.
- Please review the following Attendance During Blended Learning Google Slide in regards to attendance recording during Blended learning.
For Senior Supports, ESPs, and Attendance Support Specialists click here for further Attendance information from the School Culture & Safety Team: Attendance FAQs updated 10/22
Attendance Patterns:
- Please be sure all Seniors have the correct Local Attendance Pattern on the FD tab.
If a student transfers to you, be sure to check their Local Attendance Pattern on the FD tab
For questions, please reach out to EMIS - emis@cps-k12.org
For EMIS Use - Ohio. If their previous attendance pattern was different than yours, you will need to create an FD history in addition to the new history on the FS tab. If the attendance pattern is not different from the sending school, DO NOT create a history.
