PMR Update*

Resolution of Attendance Code Issue and PMR Submission Deadlines for NCSIS

We are pleased to inform you that the issue regarding the out-of-school suspension attendance code (3) counting against Average Daily Membership (ADM) has been resolved.

PMR Validations FATAL Report Update:The PMR Validations FATAL report can now be generated at both the school level for a single school, or at the PSU level for all schools through the Batch Queue process. This update has significantly improved the processing time, enabling faster report generation. Please note that the PMR must still be generated and submitted at the school level.

Important Submission Deadlines:

• Month 1 PMR:  For PSUs that have not yet completed their Month 1 PMR, the deadline for submission is Friday, 11/8/2024. If you are unable to meet this deadline, please ensure that a support ticket is submitted on or before November 8, 2024. Please be aware that any delete requests submitted after this date will only be processed if a support ticket was filed by November 8.
• Month 2 PMR: Due Monday, 11/18/2024.

We greatly appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to resolve these issues. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact your SIS Professional Learning Team Consultant. 

New Report Available: 

A new PMR Submission Status report is now available for PSUs.   The report can be run from the PSU level to see status for all schools, or from an individual school level to see only that school’s status.  This new validation group contains three different individual reports, Schools that Have Submitted, Schools that have not Submitted, and a third report that contains all within one report, which also includes a status field, that will show if the PMR has been successfully submitted, generated but not submitted, or not generated at all.   To run the report, navigate to Reporting > Data Validation Report > PMR Submission Status – M1, and Generate Now.   This report runs very quickly, so it does not have to be submitted to the batch queue.   PMR Submission Status – M2 is available as well, and months 3-9 will be added soon. 

Submitting a Ticket: When submitting your ticket to NCDPI for a PMR deletion, please select "Report a Service Incident" and choose "NCSIS - Powered by Infinite Campus" to ensure proper routing. Only one ticket per PSU is needed for PMR deletion. All schools can be submitted on one ticket.
