Below lists good prep work to start working on before any scheduling for the next school year starts.

While many of us are busy with holiday preparations, many schools are already beginning to plan for the next school year! If you will be starting your next year scheduling soon, it is important to make sure that all students are correctly coded as outlined below.

•     Students such as graduating seniors, who will not return for the next school year, must have a “1” in the Next Year Active Field, indicating they will not be returning to the district for the following school year.

•     Students who will be returning, new, or incoming students, must have “0” in the Next Year Active Field, indicating that they will be returning to the district for the following school year. If students are not returning to your school, but will be attending another school in the district, Next Year Active should be 0.

•     Enter the next year school location for all students returning next year in the NY School Location Field. This will give each school access to students who will be attending their school next year for Next Year Scheduling in a district wide database. (i.e. 8th graders should have the high school location in NY School Location so that the high school will be able to access them for Next Year Scheduling)

•     Users can mass change the data in these fields, if desired, following the instructions in this Help Console document “Mass Data Changes”

Note: The fields above must be correct for all students in the district prior to any of your schools running the Prepare the Next Year Scheduling Area steps.

Prior to registering students for next year classes, each school will need to run the Prepare the Next Year Scheduling Area steps in the Scheduling folder. Instructions for running these steps can be found in this Help Console document under Step 2 - Prepare the Next Year Scheduling Area.
