Important Notice:
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.
Empowering Your Data Story:
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.
May Winners:
- Egypt Elementary
- Cummings School
- Trezevant High School
Featured Updates:
- The new High School Accountability Report is available in the District 360 Dashboard. This report contains data on Graduation Rates, Drop Out Rates, College and Career Readiness, and Ready Graduate – with accountability rules for student subgroup populations. Click here to see the user guide.
- 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.
