  • YEAR_OF_ENTRY_TO_CANADA
PSSR-226829OnSIS CTCC Submission - Enhanced to Use Other Course Information Credit Recovery Flag to Determine Credit Recovery Course

OnSIS CTCC Submission Report: Version 3.3

The report now uses the Other Course Information > Credit Recovery flag to determine if a course is a Credit Recovery course.

PSSR-228260OnSIS Elementary and Secondary - Update reports to get gender from snapshot

OnSIS Elementary School Submission: Version 13.2
OnSIS Secondary School Submission: Version 14.9

These reports are updated to extract the student's gender from the snapshot; however, if a student's gender cannot be extracted from the snapshot, it is extracted from student's records.

Note: Boards using the new gender values Prefer to Specify (S) and Prefer not to Disclose (N) while still running the March submission, must upgrade to use these versions of the reports.

PSSR-226828OnSIS Night School Submission - Enhanced to Use Other Course Information Credit Recovery Flag to Determine Credit Recovery Course

OnSIS Night School Submission Report: Version 8.5

The report now uses the Other Course Information > Credit Recovery flag to determine if a course is a Credit Recovery course.

PSSR-228028OnSIS Night School Submission - ON Scholarship Date/Flag reported by the incorrect school

OnSIS Night School Submission version 8.5

When a student left one school to join another, the student's Main School Flag was incorrectly generated as T for the school the student left. The report is updated to check the student's latest enrollment that falls between the reported enrollment start and end dates. If the enrollment does not belong to the selected School (different BSID), the report generates the Main School Flag value as F.

Note: The Ontario scholarship date, flag and community hours are generated only when the Main School Flag is T.

PSSR-228258OnSIS Snapshot - Add Gender Field

OnSIS Demographic Snapshot version 2.1

The report is updated to take a snapshot of the Gender field as of the submission count date.

Note: Since the new gender values - Prefer to Specify (S) and Prefer not to Disclose (N) - are only valid starting with the June submission, using this version of the report will allow boards to use the new gender values starting April while still running OnSIS March. To prevent OnSIS critical errors in the March Submission, boards planning to use the new gender values this year must upgrade to the Provincial Reporting March release before March 31st.

The Gender field is added to the the snapshot page. The field values displayed are the values defined in the code sets for genders. The page reflects the value saved in the snapshot table. In addition, the JK/K Timetable type field is removed from the page.
