  4. Student Grades Template Changes/Clarification School of Membership Semester Code Section code, no change in requirements, possible changes in vendor extract.

  5. School of Membership School Number [Student Grades:Location Code (2)] For most students, the School of Membership is the school where the student is enrolled for the majority of their instruction. For students attending a program (e.g. focus, Rule 18, ESU or alternative programs), the School of Membership is the school where the student would be enrolled either due to residence in the district or due to assignment.

  6. Semester Code • Issues with duplicate records (i.e. Quarter classes) • Issues determining “class” from Section Code • Created more options for semester code and • Use of the system generated section code or district/system generated code that remains the same for every reporting period for that class.

  7. Semester Code • Semester[Student Grades:Supplementary Course Differentiator (22)] • Removed all current codes (0, 1, 2, 3, 4) • New Coding • Year-long • Semester • Quarter • Trimester • Hexter • Summer school

Staff Reporting Changes Affecting Student Grades • Postsecondary Staff • Don’t report in NSSRS Staff Reporting • Yes report NDE Staff ID in Student Grades • Controlling District = 00-0000 • Distance Learning Staff from Sending District • Don’t report assignment in NSSRS Staff Reporting at Receiving District • Yes report NDE Staff ID in Student Grades • Controlling District = County District Number for District sending distance learning.
