Migration of the DPI AS400 (LEAs only)

Postponed


The migration of the DPI AS400 to SAS that was scheduled to take place April 5 – April 8, 2018, has been delayed.  DPI has had issues getting all the required files for month end close from the LEAs, and the AS400 plays an integral part in the month end process.  BUD and BAAS processing will continue as normal.  The AS400 migration will be rescheduled after month end close and notifications will be sent through the finance officer newsletter with the new dates. 

 

Questions regarding this notification can be directed to Denise Jackson at denise.jackson@dpi.nc.gov .

Virtual Status for All Schools

New

A new field, Virtual Status, has been added to every school's information page in EDDIE.  The permitted values are as follows:

 

FULLVIRTUAL - Exclusively virtual - All instruction offered by the school is virtual.  This does not exclude students and teachers meeting in person for field trips, school-sponsored social events or assessment purposes.  All students receive all instruction virtually.

 

FACEVIRTUAL - Primarily virtual - The school’s major purpose is to provide virtual instruction to students, but some traditional classroom instruction is also provided.  Most students receive all instruction virtually.

 

SUPPVIRTUAL - Supplemental Virtual - Instruction is directed by teachers in a traditional classroom setting; virtual instruction supplements face-to-face instruction by teachers.  Students vary in the extent to which their instruction is virtual.  (Note: This includes schools that offer NCVPS classes.)

 

NOTVIRTUAL - No virtual instruction - The school does not offer any virtual instruction.  No students receive any virtual instruction.

 

All schools have been set with a default of NOTVIRTUAL.  Please have your Subscribed EDDIE Users* update this field if your school(s) fits the criteria for a different value in the current (2017-18) school year.  The schools below have already been identified in EDDIE as follows:

FULLVIRTUAL: 00A, 00B, and 299-300

FACEVIRTUAL: 600-499 and 920-386

 

Please DO NOT enter data in EDDIE for next year (2018-19) until after July 1, 2018. (This does not apply to Pending or Future Schools.)  Note: For schools that are adding a grade level next year, PowerSchool (PS) has a workaround to allow the new grade level to be added in PS without changing EDDIE.  Contact your PS or SIS Coordinator for information.
