ROLLOVER MUST BE COMPLETED BY AUGUST 30, 2007 • Please be advised – your ADMIN staff must complete the rollover process in COPA for both the Children and Families data so that access to their information for the 2007-2008 school year will not be lost!!! Current enrollment information will be reflected in the reports which will be available for the 2006-2007 COPA School year. • The Family Assessments in COPA will be cleared out and new assessments will need to be input after the rollover is completed. The children and family data will need to be prepared for the Eligible/Accepted List or placed on the Termination list. Newly enrolling children and families expected to start on or after September 4, 2007 will need to be placed on the Pre-Enroll list. Only Families previously Wait Listed with no Children in the system should be deleted. COPA Reports and PIR information will not be accurate if currently enrolled children are deleted.
