School Activity Report (SAR) - Collection period ends on November 15

The collection period for the School Activity Report (SAR) will end on November 15.

As we are only a few weeks away from this deadline, please make sure that you're running and reviewing the SAR as often as possible.  There are still a significant number of Warning and Fatal Exceptions on the SAR.

ALL Fatal Exceptions MUST be cleared before the SAR can be approved!  Warnings must be reviewed and corrected as needed to ensure an accurate report of school data.

If you are experiencing technical issues with the RP or the SAR and need assistance, please submit a ticket to the Technology Support Center (https://nc-myit.us.onbmc.com) as soon as possible!  Do not wait until the last minute to report issues that are preventing you from completing and approving the reports.
