How can I verify that a student is attached to a data collection?

View the data collections assignments in the KReady System by following this path:

Reporting

If a student has an NS for an item, does the Item Completion Report shows as an "X" or is it blank? "Should be an "X" since the N is the score?

Yes, NS is considered a score option and the “X” should appear in the Completion by Item Report if NS has been entered for an item.

What is the process for submitting information to the EMIS reporting system?

Data Managers will add scores data to their Student Information System (SIS) and that information will be transferred to EMIS based upon their individual platform process and the EMIS submission guidelines. See the EMIS Manual for more details.

Transfers

How do I process student transfers (to and from) in the KReady System?

Transfer requests are generated when data managers upload the student file using the Bulk Loader. The enrollments file must be loaded if new students have been added to a district and the district needs to assign the students to the new teachers. The templates for adding students and the enrollment file are located in the Bulk Loader section of the KReady System. View this page for details regarding Transfers.

My Internal District Student Transfers are not showing on my transfers page, what should I do?

Internal transfer requests within districts will not appear on the Transfers page. Districts will handle these with their own internal process. The data manager can open the student record and change the Point of Authority (POA) within their own district.

View this page for details regarding Transfers.

How do I transfer a student from one teacher to another in a different building within the same district?

If a student has been added to the system successfully using the enrollment file, you can transfer the student to a new building in the same district by loading the student file with the new school IRN and loading a new enrollment file to assign the student to the new teacher. Be sure to remove the student from the original teacher assignment.

How should I address POA errors?

A Point of Authority (POA) error is typically the result of an incomplete or pending transfer request. Please confirm that transfer requests are cleared and ensure that the requests from other districts have all been approved or declined. It might also be helpful to view this page on the Data Downloads Report – Enrollments to confirm POA status.
