MSCS Compass Updates and New Releases
Coming Soon:
- As part of the monthly MSCS Compass Updates newsletter, the DAIM team is launching the new Empowering Your Data Story usage campaign to celebrate schools. Each month, we will highlight schools that go above and beyond with high and consistent usage in Power BI and the MSCS Compass to monitor progress and support data driven decision making. You can find more information about this campaign here.
Report Updates:
- State Chronically Out of School rates for 2024-2025 school year and AMO targets are available. You will find them in the District 360 dashboard. See the user guide here.
- Fall Panorama results are now available. You can find it in the Surveys Dashboard. For more on the Panorama reports, click here.
- Quarter 2 Report Card grades are available in the Student Grades Dashboard this week. Grades data populates after Report Cards are distributed and grades are stored/finalized in PowerSchool. For more on the Student Grades reports, click here.
