Final Reminders*

Last chance to complete these final steps from 2025-26:

• Do all of your students in 2025-26 have an end date (including program calendars!)?
  • Select 2025-26 Calendar(s).
  • Validation Report: (NC) EOY Enrollment Verification, Rule: (NC) Enrollments w/ No End Date
• Is the 26-27 School Year marked as Active?
  • Scheduling & Courses > Calendar Setup > School Year Setup
• Do all students that will be continuing with you (including those enrolled in program calendars, as appropriate) have an enrollment in a 26-27 calendar?
  • Note:  If EC students do not have an enrollment in the current year with you, they will be inactivated in ECATS soon.
  • We are working on a new rule in the validation report (NC) EOY Enrollment Verification that will display a list of students that finished the year in the PSU last year but do not have an enrollment for this year (excludes OHP students). These may not all be incorrect, just allows you to verify.

Changes to RTA Program Entry for 2026-27 School Year

Message from the Office of Early Learning:

As part of a continuous improvement process, we have considered stakeholder feedback and the operability of the RtA Program within Infinite Campus during the first full year of statewide implementation. To reduce data entry for schools and districts in the 2026-2027 school year with the addition of the IRP requirement for 4th and 5th grade students, we will no longer require that IRP data be entered for individual students in the Infinite Campus RtA Program. Instead, beginning in the 2026-2027 school year, we will revert to the previous process of collecting that data once using the RtA Supplemental Data Reporting for JLEOC survey that is sent in July/August each year. 

The main Read to Achieve Program (RtA) | NC Department of Public Instruction article has been updated to reflect those changes, and other articles and resources are currently being updated.

NC College Connect Validation Report

The NC College Connect Validation Report is now available.

Navigation: Reporting > Data Validation > (NC) NC College Connect Validation 2026-27

The report identifies students who:

• Meet eligibility requirements for direct admission to a two-year community college and participating four-year colleges and universities
• Meet eligibility requirements for a two-year community college only
• Are eligible but have incomplete address information
• Are not currently eligible, including the reason eligibility requirements were not met

PSUs should review the report and correct student records before the official data pull on September 9, 2026.

Due to the sensitive information included, this report is for internal use only. Access should be limited to staff with appropriate permissions. If validation report access is managed by user group, the appropriate groups must be added to the new report.

For additional information, refer to the  NC College Connect Data Pull and Scheduling Guidance | NC Department of Public Instruction article.

Pre-EOY Discipline Checks Now Available in NCSIS

To increase access to the Pre-EOY Discipline Edit Checks, this process has moved from eMFTS to NCSIS and is now known as the NCSIS Incident Reporting Data Validations.

NCDPI has developed a process to compile and load incident data into custom tables, allowing schools and PSUs to monitor, review, and validate discipline data throughout the school year.

Two validation reports will provide PSUs with a copy of behavior data entered in NCSIS: 

• (NC) Incident Actions and Responses
• (NC) Incident Behavior Events

The reports will refresh each morning before the start of the business day. Changes entered in NCSIS after the daily refresh will appear in the reports the following day. 

PSUs should use this process to review their 2025–2026 discipline data in preparation for approval by September 1, 2026. When running your reports, ensure that your context is set to the 2025-26 school year. Instructions for the approval process will be provided to discipline coordinators before that date.

For additional information, review the NCSIS Incident Reporting Data Validations guide:

https://go.ncdpi.gov/NCSIS_Incident_Validation

Incident/Discipline Data Coordinator Contact Information

Incident/Discipline Data Coordinator Contact Information is Collected in the EDDIE System.

Each PSU can designate up to two Incident/Discipline Data Coordinators in the EDDIE system.

If any changes need to be made, work with your PSU’s EDDIE coordinator to have your contact information entered or updated.

Email EDDIE@dpi.nc.gov if you are unsure of the EDDIE coordinator for your PSU.

NCSIS Resources

PSUs have access to the Campus Community, where they can acquire product knowledge, glean tips and tricks, and engage in networking opportunities with other districts. The Campus Community offers convenient single sign-on access from the Campus system to a wealth of resources, including the knowledge base, forum discussions, learning tools, support site, upcoming events, and more.

Campus Community contains the information you need to learn how to use Infinite Campus through product documentation, videos & simulations, study guides, forums, and much more. Whether you are a teacher, data manager, or Infinite Campus user, you will find the learning resources in a clearly defined pathway for a seamless transition from PowerSchool. 

Campus Passport is a collection of on-demand, self-paced courses that can be assigned to new and existing staff. Accessed through the Campus Community, you will find Instructor-Led Training, specific E-Learning courses, or select a learning plan based on your district role. 

NCSIS Knowledge Base | NC Department of Public Instruction contains articles, video recordings and other resources about North Carolina processes.

GitHub Vendor Integrations Repository is a website where examples of 3rd party extract formats can be found (these are crowd sourced and should be vetted fully before implementing in your PSU).

Ad Hoc Filter Sharing Community is a shared Google folder for Ad Hoc filters that PSUs have created.  Please add any helpful filters/reports you have created, and use others as you need.  These are not guaranteed to work in your PSU and should be vetted fully.

• Naming Convention: Ad Hoc Name - PSU Name
• You’re welcome to include your email address within the document (optional).
• Permissions: You have editing access—please proceed with caution!
• PII: Do not upload any PII to the shared folder
