Question of the Week
Q: When is the deadline for Graduation Codes (G-Codes) to be entered into Infinite Campus (IC) for the 2022-23 school year?
A: The end of the school year is a very busy time and there are many actions to take to complete the year. As a reminder, the G-Codes are due soon. Rodney Bennett, with the Division of District Services, monitors G-code entry and the Office of Assessment and Accountability (OAA) will use that data for Graduation Rate reporting this fall in the School Report Card. The deadline for G-codes to be entered in IC was June 30. The G-code end status and graduation tab must be complete in IC for all summer school graduates by July 31. OAA will run and provide to districts initial graduation rates based on final year G-codes from June 30. OAA will monitor for any data quality issues and follow-up with DACs in July and calculate final graduation rates in early August based on any changes from summer graduates.
