Graduation Cohort PD: The graduation cohort process involves providing documentation regarding students who have left a school’s cohort, and it has a significant impact on schools’ graduation rates. Virtual professional development sessions on the graduation cohort process will be held on Thursday, November 13, from 12:30 P.M. to 2 P.M. and Friday, November 14, from 9:30 A.M. to 11 A.M. The two sessions will cover the same content, so participants need to attend only one of the sessions. Each high school should send at least one representative. To sign up for a session, search for course number 49318 in PLZ.

Report Updates:

• Data for the third 20-Day period is now available in the Show Up for Greatness report. Click here to see the user guide.
   
• Office Disciplinary Referrals and Progressive Discipline business rules have been updated. Previously, referrals related to attendance and truancy (PSSP, SARB, and CA Plans) were included in Disciplinary incident counts. That is no longer the case. As a result, schools may see a decline in Office Disciplinary Referrals and Progressive Discipline numbers. This change impacts current year and historical data. These updates can be found in Student Discipline, Student Snapshot, School Snapshot, District 360, and Feeder Pattern.
   
• The School Information Raw Data page has been updated. When looking at the School Calendar view, you can now toggle between seeing each instructional date for a school (and the number for that day within the year) or an aggregated view with the start/end dates and the total number of instructional days (by whichever Duration you select).
   
• New metrics are available in the Student Discipline: District Quick Report. See the user guide. These include:
  • #/% of students with No OSS (OSS only)
  • #/% of students with No Expulsions (Expulsions only)
  • #/% of students with No Remands (Remands Only)
  • #/% of students with No ISS (ISS only)
  • #/% of students with No Out of School Suspensions (OSS, Expulsions or Remands)
  • #/% of students with No In School or Out of School Suspensions (ISS, OSS, Expulsions or Remands)
