PMR Update*

If you have a closed school that has not had students enrolled in the 24-25 school year, please delete their 24-25 calendar.

Additionally, if you haven’t already, please run and approve PMR 2 ASAP.

As a reminder, when running the PMR you must complete all four steps as documented here:  PMR Submission Verification Process | NC Department of Public Instruction

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.

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- M4 are available as well, and months 5-9 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.

Clarifying Points

End Enrollment:

Only check the "no-show" box when withdrawing a student if they have  never attended the school during the current calendar year. If the student has attended, please process the withdrawal using the appropriate attendance dates and refer to the Student End Enrollment Checklist article.

https://ncdepartmentofpublicinstruction.knowledgeowl.com/home/student-end-enrollment-checklist

Assessment/Testing Data: 

CPR scores have been loaded into Infinite Campus.  Instructions for running reports to view students with and without scores will be coming soon.

1L, 2L, 1P Attendance Codes: 

1L, 2L have been updated to tardies in Infinite Campus. 1P is set as a present code. 

Teacher tardies should be used to indicate when students are late to class, but not when they arrive late to school. Teacher tardies should not be converted into 1L or 2L attendance codes. Please refer to the SQL script information to verify your Task Scheduler is setup correctly.

The SQL script for setting up this process can be copied from the GitHub repository found HERE. On the webpage, click on the SQL report highlighted below and follow the steps listed in the Readme section on How to Use this Repository.
