Does anyone know what the PS Field Name is for the Special Program: Early Childhood - Participant Info Code so we can search for EC0004 or EC0007, etc.?

Thank you!!

Is anyone else having a problem with the NSSRS Student Summary Attendance getting stuck in Report Que in PowerSchool?

I have tried it with the entire school and with just a couple of grades and it will not finish processing.

I have restarted ReportWorks and that finally stopped it (it would not cancel either).

Any thoughts?

Thank you

Hello

I am looking to find out how other schools report Non-Public Students Receiving Assistance and have them set up in PowerSchool.   

We have students attending parochial schools but receiving speech or title services from our public school.  They are at a 0.05% FTE in our PowerSchool.

The way it has been handled is that the students are in our PowerSchool in a bogus "Grade 15" and reported by manipulating an Excel spreadsheet uploaded to NDE. 

            These students would pull on the Sped Snap, Prog Fact, Title I reports.
 
                         - as we all know, that will not work in 2018-19.

Hoping someone has some advice to prepare for future NSSRS / ADVISER Reporting.  

Thank you!

All Power School Users, 
Please note there will be a PowerSchool session on Monday, April 16th at the NDE Data Conference from 4pm-5pm in Crystal 4.  Tuarab from PowerSchool will be there to introduce the new Incident Management update and answer any other questions you may have regarding ADVISER and/or State Reporting.  Other state Power School experts will also be on hand to answer questions and help. 

Hello.

I'm trying to create new NE Reporting Store Codes at one of the school districts I serve.  After entering a store code, I click Submit, but then a blank screen is returned. I've checked relevant setup screens at each school in the district, but I don't see any anomalies.  I've reset the tomcat service, but without any success on my original endeavor. Any suggestions?

NSSRS folks,

We have noticed an issue with the Student Grades report when a student has stored grades for a dropped section. In this case the record on the report will have a blank Staff ID, the PS course number will be in the CourseCodeLong field instead of the State’s course number (Alternate Course Code field) and the SectionCodeLong field will contain the SectionID of the Section’s table record, not the section number. The SectionCodeLong issue may not cause a problem, but the issue with the Staff ID and CourseCodeLong will cause errors with the State. The good news is this report isn’t due for a few more months and we’re sure there will be a fix fairly soon.


For your reference, there have been two cases submitted to PowerSource on this issue, #02732523 and #02732799.

Hi,

We are new to PowerSchool this school year and we would like to start keeping track of staff information for the NDE reports in PowerSchool. We would like to enter staff information this summer so that we can run the reports out of PowerSchool next school year.  We tried to run the Staff Demographics, Staff Position Assignments, and Curriculum extract. But when I open any of these reports they all say (No Records Found).

I assume there is a bunch of fields we need to set in PowerSchool for the reports to come out correctly. Does anyone use PowerSchool for Staff State Reporting? Is there a "how-to" document in on how to set up all the fields correctly in PowerSchool to make these reports work? 

I installed the Nebraska State reporting update 14.12.2

Don't Do It!!!

It messed with all the primary disability codes.  the (00) No Verified Disability code is gone so all students with that code have defaulted to (01) Emotional Disturbance.  We are still investigating, and have called Tech Support.  Wanted to get this out as soon as I could .

I will keep you posted.

What is the process for utilizing the Program of Study Report through powerschool?  I have not been able to figure out what I need to check or add within our courses so that Powerschool will pull them correctly.  Any assistance on this would be helpful.  

How do any of you handle putting Summer Drivers Ed into PS? I thought I'd create a summer school, but that turned into way too big a job for just a dozen or so kids.

In the past they've just been added with the grade they received into Historical Grades, but that doesn't pull the teacher's state ID. 

They take the driving portion in the summer after 8th grade but get high school credit for it. I want to make sure that however I do it, it shows up right on their transcript and also pulls correctly for the Grades report.

Any input is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Has anyone noticed that the State/Province screen has changed.  The field for Alternate assessment prompts you to answer  "No for all student below Grade 03" but does not allow you to choose No as an answer.  I thought that maybe when I ran the report it would populate with a 2 but that is not the case....the field comes out blank.  (This is for just the student's screen I have changed this year....the screen that hasn't been touched is pulling correctly.)
When I looked on PowerSource at the Nebraska Extract Guide, it shows that the alternate assessment field is not being collected (Line 23) but the state documentation indicates that it is (which I believe). 

One more thing, when I extract the report it is still pulling column 48 for Surrogate Appointed.  In the 14-15 template instructions, it is no longer asking for that information.

Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.  I know I could manipulate the data once it's been extracted but would like it to come out right from PowerSchool.
I appreciate this group!

Where do you designate a student as HP instead of PK in PowerSchool?

Anyone else here have students from out-of-state school districts enrolled? Do they get an NSSRS Unique ID? I'm at a private school that has not yet requested the Unique IDs (I know, I was surprised, too!) and now I need them. But at my previous school, we didn't have out-of-state students.

Do you pull them out of your state reporting data before you upload to NDE? How do you handle districtofresidence field? We have a couple of students from Iowa and I found Iowa school district codes, but I'm not sure what's going to happen when I upload them to NDE for NSSRS Unique IDs. Any thoughts? TIA. 

This has probably been talked about a number of times, but I haven't been able to find the discussion.  I am running (attempting to run) my Student and School Enrollment reports.  They are stalling.  It shows an NA under Started and Pending under Status.

I am sure there is something I am forgetting.  Can anyone point me in the right direction?  Thanks  so much.

I have a couple of rural school kids who are going to take Driver's Ed via DL. I used Enroll in Another School to get them in the class. What I'm worried about is Attendance, ADA/ADM, and anything else that would affect NSSRS. Does anyone have any experience with this and have any advice for me?

I have entered results for 4th, 8th and 11th grades for the Assessment Fact for NAI NSSRS report and only get (no records found) when I run the report.  I really hope someone can tell me what I am missing?  Thanks in advance for any advice!

When I run the audit file for Student Grades, any students at the high school who have withdrawn from a section after grades were stored for first semester have the entry for that grade one column off. It appears to happen with the teacher name. It sees the comma that separates the last and first name and then shifts everything over. In the column for Course Code Long, it puts in the Course code instead of the Alternate Course Code. In the Section Code Long column, it replaces the section number with the Section ID. It also happened for the extract file, except that it doesn't shift the data over.

I reported this to PowerSchool and it moved all the way up the food chain. This is the response I got today: 

The issue you have reported in case number 01363418 has been identified as a new or existing application defect.

I do not have a workaround for this issue at this time as the report is not correctly handling dropped classes.

Your case information will be associated with the existing development ticket, for tracking purposes. The case will remain open until the defect has been addressed in a PowerSchool release, at which time you will receive email notification and the case will be closed.

Just thought I'd give everyone a heads-up in case you run into the same thing.

I thought I would try to get ahead with state reporting, and pull the Student Grades Report for S1.  I can't pinpoint what I'm doing wrong, as I am able to pull our ES and our MS information, but not the high school.  I've tried being in the S1 term, I've tried being in the year-long term, I've tried being in Q3 term, and I still get nothing for the HS.  
Any suggestions?

I feel I ask this question every time I do state reports.  So here I am again asking.
What start and end dates do you use for the following:

Student
School Enrollment
Year End Special Ed Snapshot
Title 1
and all the Program Facts

Thanks
