Day One Game-Changers, Tips, & Time-Savers! LIMITED
Tuesday January 21, 2025 3:00pm - 3:50pm EST
Room 62 - Augusta B (Third FLOOR)
This one-hour presentation will equip new Infinite Campus users with essential tips, resources, and effective processes for administrative tasks. It is especially beneficial for Phase 2 charter schools and small districts where data managers juggle multiple responsibilities, offering insights and strategies to streamline their work. Each segment delivers practical guidance, templates, and tools to support student and staff needs.1. Developing Supportive Training Materials (10 minutes)We'll begin by showcasing ready-to-use training templates and session formats, which provide consistency and clarity for all users. Standardized agendas, objectives, and curated resources (e.g., articles and videos) will be introduced, creating a foundation for ongoing learning. A quick overview of feedback integration will be provided, highlighting how input gathered through Google surveys can shape and improve materials.2. Simplified User Access with Rapid Identity (5 minutes)Managing access efficiently is critical. This segment will walk users through steps for retrieving updated staff rosters and using Rapid Identity to handle NCEdCloud access. We’ll also discuss troubleshooting techniques for common issues (e.g., password resets) and share email templates to expedite communication for access-related requests.3. Customized Training by Role (10 minutes)Recognizing that different roles have unique challenges, this section focuses on creating role-specific resources. We will cover developing guides for specialized roles, like case management for social workers, and assembling toolkits that include workflows and collaboration strategies. 4. Streamlined New Student Enrollments & Withdrawals (5 minutes)Next, we’ll review essential steps for new student enrollments and withdrawals. Checklists for required documentation, sample forms, and templates for family communication will be provided. This streamlines processes and ensures accuracy, efficiency, and clear communication with families.5. Managing No-Shows (5 minutes)Proactive management of no-shows is crucial. We will outline steps for tracking and analyzing no-show trends using data tools (ADM, Ad Hoc reports) and share resources, including sample outreach scripts. This helps to establish a routine for outreach and follow-up.6. Effective Student Scheduling (5 minutes)Setting up flexible and precise scheduling systems can improve student tracking. We will introduce flexible options, like period setups and multiple-day formats, and explain how master and period schedule reports can support attendance monitoring. A sample scheduling template will be provided for reference.7. Attendance Tracking (5 minutes)Accurate attendance is essential for data integrity. This section will focus on generating and interpreting attendance reports and addressing absenteeism through intervention strategies. We will also cover record-keeping best practices, providing guides for consistent data management.8. Addressing PMR Issues (5 minutes)Common PMR issues can be challenging for new users. Here, we’ll review frequent challenges and resolution strategies, emphasizing data integrity. Resources such as troubleshooting guides and step-by-step workflow videos will be shared to assist users in PMR management.9. Standards-Based Grading Implementation (5 minutes)Standards-based grading is critical for transparency. We’ll outline how to align standards with assessments, effectively communicate grades, and provide rubrics and templates that support clear grading practices for both students and parents.10. Essential Data & Tool Management (5 minutes)Concluding with data management, we’ll cover managing tool rights, customizing admin rights, and ensuring data compliance in nutrition tracking and ad hoc reporting. Templates for permission matrices, access request processes, and reporting will be provided.This session empowers Infinite Campus users with practical, adaptable tools to streamline their daily tasks, promote data integrity, and support collaboration.

Helpful hints that might make things easier for Phase 2.Examples:-Find out which employees are contacts for students.  Make sure the email and phone numbers match what is on their staff page.  Easier to match them up in export files. Maybe do a Google form to collect information to help-Tool Rights - Find out now what groups need to access (do Front desk people need access to teacher schedules, do ISS TA's (coordinators) need access to see discipline or student grades, etc., who  needs access to past calendars)  Come up with a good schema for groups-Staff Titles - make sure they are set for staff and closely follow your tool right schema. This will help assign staff to user groups in mass-Save PS attendance letters and other custom reports that could be used as templates in IC-Should elementary, middle and high school teachers be in different user groups (are you locking categories and weights for some but not others)Kate covered some of this in her SIS presentation-Data Cleanup !!-additional data to pull from Powerschool

Building Better Data Systems for Better Decisions LIMITED
Wednesday January 22, 2025 2:00pm - 2:50pm EST
Room 64 - Tidewater (Third FLOOR)
Better decisions require better information. This guiding principle lies at the heart of the Statewide Longitudinal Data Systems (SLDS) Grant Program, which has helped fuel the successful design, development, and expansion of K-12 and P-20W (early learning through the workforce) data systems across the nation. These systems empower states to manage, analyze, and use education data—particularly individual student records—to drive data-informed decision-making, improve student outcomes, and facilitate research aimed at closing achievement gaps. However, as data systems have matured over the past decade, new challenges have emerged, particularly in meeting the evolving needs of education agencies and stakeholders.In this session, we will explore the ongoing evolution of the K12 Student Longitudinal Data System (SLDS), a cornerstone of the state’s educational data infrastructure. Specifically, we’ll focus on the challenges of modernizing the NC SchoolWorks system, which, despite being a heavily relied-upon resource, is struggling to keep up with changes in state agencies, Public School Units (PSUs), and data needs.  All these systems have a “piece of the puzzle,” but there is no single platform where our data exists, and no singular source of truth for student data – data exists in different forms in each system.We are seeking feedback from North Carolina school leaders and education stakeholders as we transition to a unified, integrated data system.  We want to hear from you—the individuals who are working directly with these data sources, generating reports, and using the insights to inform decisions at the local level every day.In this session, attendees will learn about:The current state of North Carolina’s data systems, including the fragmentation challenges and the impact on data accessibility and decision-making.The phased approach to modernizing NC SchoolWorks, including migrating to the cloud, enriching the data lake, and transitioning to a new reporting and analytic platform.The vision for a unified, integrated data system that can provide a single, comprehensive source of student data to drive actionable insights, improve student outcomes, and close achievement gaps.

Building Better Data Systems for Better Decisions LIMITED
Thursday January 23, 2025 11:00am - 11:50am EST
Room 68 - Victoria Ballroom A (Third FLOOR)
Better decisions require better information. This guiding principle lies at the heart of the Statewide Longitudinal Data Systems (SLDS) Grant Program, which has helped fuel the successful design, development, and expansion of K-12 and P-20W (early learning through the workforce) data systems across the nation. These systems empower states to manage, analyze, and use education data—particularly individual student records—to drive data-informed decision-making, improve student outcomes, and facilitate research aimed at closing achievement gaps. However, as data systems have matured over the past decade, new challenges have emerged, particularly in meeting the evolving needs of education agencies and stakeholders.In this session, we will explore the ongoing evolution of the K12 Student Longitudinal Data System (SLDS), a cornerstone of the state’s educational data infrastructure. Specifically, we’ll focus on the challenges of modernizing the NC SchoolWorks system, which, despite being a heavily relied-upon resource, is struggling to keep up with changes in state agencies, Public School Units (PSUs), and data needs.  All these systems have a “piece of the puzzle,” but there is no single platform where our data exists, and no singular source of truth for student data – data exists in different forms in each system.We are seeking feedback from North Carolina school leaders and education stakeholders as we transition to a unified, integrated data system.  We want to hear from you—the individuals who are working directly with these data sources, generating reports, and using the insights to inform decisions at the local level every day.In this session, attendees will learn about:The current state of North Carolina’s data systems, including the fragmentation challenges and the impact on data accessibility and decision-making.The phased approach to modernizing NC SchoolWorks, including migrating to the cloud, enriching the data lake, and transitioning to a new reporting and analytic platform.The vision for a unified, integrated data system that can provide a single, comprehensive source of student data to drive actionable insights, improve student outcomes, and close achievement gaps.

Helpful hints that might make things easier for Phase 2.Examples:-Find out which employees are contacts for students.  Make sure the email and phone numbers match what is on their staff page.  Easier to match them up in export files. Maybe do a Google form to collect information to help-Tool Rights - Find out now what groups need to access (do Front desk people need access to teacher schedules, do ISS TA's (coordinators) need access to see discipline or student grades, etc., who  needs access to past calendars)  Come up with a good schema for groups-Staff Titles - make sure they are set for staff and closely follow your tool right schema. This will help assign staff to user groups in mass-Save PS attendance letters and other custom reports that could be used as templates in IC-Should elementary, middle and high school teachers be in different user groups (are you locking categories and weights for some but not others)Kate covered some of this in her SIS presentation-Data Cleanup !!-additional data to pull from Powerschool
