Student Enrollments: Update How Grade Level UE is Collected and Reported

AZ ADA/ADM by Student: Version 2.6
Student Attendance Detail: Version 3.1

Student Check-in / Check-out Log: Version 1.6
Pupil Withdrawal Data Report: Version 1.4
CRDC Report (2017-2018): Version 1.3.3
Early Childhood Immunization Report: Version 1.6

For Arizona school enrollments, an enhancement is made to how state grade-level UE (Ungraded Elementary) is collected and reported. Previous to this change, districts were required to use PowerSchool grade level PK3 (-2) for their UE students. Going forward, UE will be collected as an additional grade level qualifier (an additional field).

The following pages and reporting updates are available to support the UE grade level change:

  • On all screens where Grade Level is entered, when grade level KG (0) is selected, an additional field is displayed for the user to designate the student is ‘Ungraded Elementary’.Field Name = UngradedElementaryDistricts can now use PowerSchool grade levels PK4, PK3, PK2, and PK1 (-1 through -4) for their Preschool-aged students.

  • State screens displaying a student’s state grade level will display as UE when the Ungraded Elementary box is checked for KG grade students and will display as PS for all grade levels below KG (PK4, PK3, PK2, PK1)

  • AzEDS Publishing for all applicable profiles is updated to report a student as UE and PS according to the above changes.

  • All PowerSchool state reports reporting student grade level are updated to also report grade level according to the above data collection changes.

  • Note: This release contains a script that will update all student enrollments having grade level = PK3 (-2) to have grade-level KG (0) with the Ungraded Elementary box checked.
