Important Reminder Prior to Running Your Enrollment Lottery
Dear school leaders and vendors who assist with PowerSchool or the enrollment lottery, please note you must enter student records individually into PowerSchool. Do not import batch data.
As Charters begin to prepare for the new school year, NCDPI would like to remind PowerSchool admins and third-party management companies that students should not be imported into the system. Importing student records bypasses our UID integration and customization, therefore all students should be entered individually, following the steps providing in this Quick Reference Document. Importing student records bypasses our UID integration and creates duplicate records in PowerSchool if the student has an existing record in the UID system. We currently have an overwhelming amount of duplicate records and clean up of duplicate records could take an extended length of time.

The UNCC regional team, led by Director Dr. Misty Hathcock whose sole job is to support beginning teachers in the region through the three core services of Institute, professional development, and individualized coaching. The coach/teacher ratio is 1/30 and coaches visit teachers face-to-face a minimum of once per week. The coaching focus at UNC Charlotte is “in-the-moment” coaching in the areas of planning, instruction, and assessment.
NC ACCESS Fellows visited Bradford Preparatory School to observe teachers and the levels of support. Later, the Fellows engage on campus with the Dean of the College of Education and other professors. The presentation on cultural diversity was very informative.
For more information on how to partner, contact Dr. Misty Hathcock, mchathco@uncc.edu, or 704-694-8532.
The review of the 2018-2019 PF is complete and final school reports will be posted in Epicenter within the week. We had twice as many schools meet all operational and financial measures from the previous year and 97% of our schools met expectations.
Congratulations and a job well done to 35 charter schools who exceeded expectations on the 2019 Performance Framework. These schools met every single applicable measure(as many as 46), covering Operations, Governance, Finance, and Academics.
The Office of Charter Schools has decided to recognize these schools who exceed expectations with an individualized badge to be posted on their website and used in marketing to demonstrate the value we place on accountability.
We look forward to sharing many more of these badges in future years!
