NJ ESSA SubGroups Report
Introduction
Use the NJ ESSA SubGroups Report to calculate the counts and attendance totals for all subgroups of the NJ ESSA report. These subgroups include:
- Low Income – students with Lunch Status of Free, Reduced, or Free-DC
- LEP – students identified as Limited English Proficient (LEP = Y)
- IEP – students with any special education classification other than 99-Declassified and 17-ESLS
- Gender – male and female student breakdown
- Migrant Status – students that qualify as Migrant students (Migrant Status = Y)
- Race – students with a valid race code
You can calculate attendance based on attendance conversions or two-session attendance. Refer to the Report Setup for the Two-Session Attendance Calculation for the steps to set up Period Mapping for your district.
The first absence code for the last period having an absence code is reported when running the report for the Two Session Attendance option.
This report has two sections:
- A summary section that shows the counts and attendance totals by subgroup.
- A detailed section shows the substantiating detail to the calculated totals presented in the summary section.
You can generate the report for one school or the entire district.
Selection Criteria
Selection criteria determine which database records are used in the report. For the NJ ESSA SubGroups Report, student records are selected.
School Selection
The report selects which school records to use based on the following criteria:
- The school must be associated with a student included in the report.
Student Selection
The report selects which student records to use based on the following criteria:
- The student has a lunch status equal to Free, Reduced, or Free-DC, which identifies that student as low-income.
- The student has an LEP status equal to yes.
- The student has a Special Education Classification of anything other than 99-Declassified and 17-ESLS.
- The student does not have Entry Date = Exit Date, as in a No Show student.
Report Setup for the Two-Session Attendance Calculation
To use the two-session attendance calculation method, you must:
- Designate a school (at School>School Setup>Preferences) as Meeting and Daily.
- Designate a bridge period to be used only for reporting tardies.
- Use the District > District Setup > Period Mapping option to identify the AM and PM periods in each bell schedule used by the district. This information is used in the two-session attendance calculation, which looks for attendance in one AM period and one PM period.
To map AM and PM periods to a bell period:
- Go to District > District Setup > Period Mapping.
- In the Select A Bell Schedule list, click a bell schedule to be mapped, and then click New. The New Record page appears.
- In the AM Periods list, hold down the Ctrl key and click each period considered an AM period in the bell schedule.
- In the PM Periods list, hold down the Ctrl key and click each period considered a PM period in the bell schedule.
- Click Submit to save the record.
