As part of the monthly newsletter, the DAIM team is publishing the Empowering Your Data Story report to promote Power BI usage. This report highlights schools that go above and beyond in their use of Power BI and the MSCS Compass. You can find more information about this campaign here.
You can see pictures of recipients, with their awards, on our Hall of Fame page.
April Winners:
- Hawkins Mill Elementary
- Cummings School
- Trezevant High School
Featured Updates:
- The Promotional Pathways Report in the Literacy Commitment dashboard is available to track the promotional status of students in grades 3 and 4. When published, data from Preliminary TCAP, Retake TCAP, and Aimsweb Plus 3 will all be available. Schools will be able to see which students are required/optional for SLA in addition to the promotional status for those in grade 3. Some grade 4 results will not be available until July when Adequate Growth data is available. Click here to see the user guide.
- You can use the Promotional Pathways Report to easily pull a list of third grade students eligible for SLA and a list of students eligible for appeals. Click here for more information.
- The Summer Learning Academy dashboard is updated and available to track SLA attendance and enrollment. The dashboard is scheduled to refresh daily at 12 p.m. Click here to see the user guides.
- Data for both the 8th 20-Day and 9th 20-Day periods is available in the Show Up for Greatness report. Note that because of shifting calendars during the year, the 9th 20-Day period only includes five (5) instructional days. Click here to see the user guide for this report.
- Q4 Report Card Grades is available in the Student Grades dashboard. Grades data populates after Report Cards are distributed and grades are stored/finalized in PowerSchool. Check out the user guides for more details on the grade reports.
Coming Soon:
- On June 17, DAIM will begin our Rollover Summer Maintenance Process for the 2026-2027 school year. During this time, most dashboards will temporarily stop refreshing/updating. There will be exceptions for SLA and Literacy Commitment, which will continue updating regularly until early July. New users and employees with new school assignments will not have access until this process is complete for the start of school in August.
