18. How can I tell if a household has been verified? • Go to the Search tab; search “Household” • In the search window, type a name of any person in the household; click “Go” • Click on the household name • Look in the “Date Household Verified” field

Please add the school name, sign and fax changes to 381-4943. • Address changes are made for the entire household. If only selected members of the household are changing addresses, please indicate this on the summary page. • Guardian information contained in the “Personal Contact Information” should be changed by the registrar at the school. (Changes should be made under Index > Census > People on the Guardian’s demographic tab, not the student’s) • Look over the household form to be sure it includes an address, phone number and is signed and dated at the bottom. • Emergency contacts must have at least one phone number to be added in IC. If the person does not have a phone number, they can be added to the “Flags” tab as a transportation flag.

20. A closer look at enrollments • The enrollments tab will show enrollment records for the student’s educational career in FCPS going back to the 07-08 school year. You may also see enrollment history that has been imported from other Kentucky school districts. • Enrollment records are broken into four major sections: • General Enrollment Information • State Reporting Fields • Special Ed Fields • District Defined Elements

21. A closer look at: General Enrollment Information • Schedule – Most schools only have one schedule; “Main.” Schools with multiple schedule structures need to be careful which schedule is chosen. • Grade – The grade level associated with the student. • 00 – Kindergarten • 99 – 4 year olds • 98 – 3 year olds • 97 – 2 year olds • Class Rank Exclude – Your counselor will alert you if this checkbox should be checked. • Start Date – The date the student came to be educated. • No Show – Checked only if the student was expected to attend, and never attended. Typically only used prior to the beginning of the school year and on day 1. • End Action – Used at the end of the year to identify retentions. • Service Type – Always primary unless the student is shared between two buildings. • Start Status – Indicates why the student was enrolled in our school district • End Status – Indicates where the student went after withdrawing. • Dropout Reasons – Chosen when a student drops out. • Start Comments – When a student enrolls from outside of FCPS, it helps to type what school and district the student enrolled from. • End Comments – When a student withdraws to a school outside of FCPS, it helps to type what school and district the student enrolled in.

22. A closer look at:State Reporting Fields • State Exclude – A checkbox to indicate we don’t receive funding for the student. Do not check without direction from the DPP Office to do so. • Perkins Only – Vocational students • Migrant, Immigrant, Refugee – These fields are monitored by the Migrant department.

Do not alter without direction from the assessment or DPP Offices. • KEES Override – Info for KEES funding. Monitored and maintained by Sherry Poore at IAKSS. • Underage Waiver – If a student is too young to attend kindergarten or first grade, but did attend either of those grades in another state, the Underage Waiver indicates to KDE that we still receive funding for the student.

23. A closer look at:Special Ed Fields This section is maintained by the Special Ed Facilitator at each school. Registrars do not have rights to change anything in this section.

24.
