NJ SMART State Data Submission - Student Extract (Discontinued)

Introduction

Use the NJ SMART State Data Submission - Student Data Extract option to generate the NJ SMART State Submission extract.

You may 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.

Note: The first absence code for the last period having an absence code is reported when running the report for the Two Session Attendance option.

You may also use the three override attendance fields on the NJS Student tab when you generate the extract for two-session attendance.

This is a district-wide extract. You may optionally exclude students without assigned SID numbers from the extract by choosing the "Exclude Students with unassigned SID's".

Important: You should run the report for the June 30 submission prior to running the EOY process to capture graduates and report them as active as of the June 30 snapshot date.

Report Setup

You must run the Refresh Premier Attendance option to refresh the daily attendance for the students prior to generating the NJ SMART Student Data Extract. The Refresh Premier Attendance option is scheduled to run automatically as part of the nightly process. To include attendance entered after the nightly process has completed, you must manually run the Refresh Premier Attendance option prior to running the NJ SMART Student Data Extract. To run this option:

  1. Go to Start > Special Functions > Attendance Functions > Refresh Premier Attendance Views Data.
  2. Select the All Students option to calculate attendance for all students.
  3. Type the Begin Date and Ending Date to define the attendance reporting period.
  4. Click the Submit button to run the process.

Report logic includes accounting for non-membership attendance codes for Meeting Attendance. For a Meeting Attendance student the report will search the student's daily attendance value for each day and check to see if the attendance code issued for that day is a non-membership code. If that day's attendance code is non-membership code, the student is issued 0 for attendance membership for the day. The day is included in Enrollment membership, which means that day will be counted as a Day Enrolled, but not as a Day Possible, Day Present or Day absent.

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:

    1. Go to District > District Setup > Period Mapping.
    2. In the Select A Bell Schedule list, click a bell schedule to be mapped, and then click New. The New Record page appears.
    3. In the AM Periods list, hold down the Ctrl key and click each period considered an AM period in the bell schedule.
    4. In the PM Periods list, hold down the Ctrl key and click each period considered a PM period in the bell schedule.
    5. Click Submit to save the record.

Selection Criteria

Selection criteria determine which database records are used in the report. For the NJ SMART Student Data extract, student records are selected.

Student Selection

The report selects which student records to use based on the following criteria:

  • The student enrollment was active on the snapshot date. If the snapshot date is between last day of school and June 30 of the current school year (for the June 30 submission), the student enrollment was active on the last day of school in the current school year.
  • The student record is included in NJ SMART state reporting ([S_NJ_STU_X]IncludeInNJSMART_TF equals Yes).
  • No Show students are defined as a student whose entry and exit dates are equal. No Show students are excluded from this report.
  • Students identified as Non-Public, having a Non-Public field value of REC or NREC, are omitted from this Student Data Extract report. Non-Public students are reported as part of the SID Management submission.
