Dropout/Reentry Codes

The following codes must be set up at the district level as both Entry Codes and Exit Codes and assigned at the student level on the Transfer Info > Edit Current/Previous Enrollment page. If a student drops out of school, but returns at a later date, then the school should send a Reentry Code that matches the Dropout Code - not an entry/exit (withdrawal) code. For example, if a student drops out for D08 (Peer pressure) in October and returns in January, then their Reentry code is 08. In summary, send an Entry code to MSIS (E1, E6, R1, etc.) for a student who returns to the school, changes grade levels within the school, moves to another school in the district, or for the first regular enrollment of the year, etc. Send a Reentry code to MSIS (R01, R20, etc.) for a student who drops out, but returns to school.
