Early Care and Learning PK Extract
Introduction
The Early Care and Leaning report includes pre-kindergarten student information including name, socio-economic category, ethnicity, dual language learner indicator, and waiver reason code.
Districts can generate the needed Pre-K roster extract file as needed, to be used by the Pre-K Director for uploading their students onto Roster 1 in the Bright From The Start (BFTS) Pre-K Roster System known as PANDA.
The output is submitted to the Bright From the Start -Department of Early Care and Learning.
Selection Criteria
The Early Care and Learning extract can be run for all active students or for a selection of students.
When run for all active students, the report will return students in Pre-Kindergarten grades who are active on the report run date and who have a PANDAClassID entered.
When run for selected students, only Pre-Kindergarten students who have PANDA data entry completed should be included in the selection. Students without PANDAClassID will not be included in the report.
