The Rollover Process • Preparing for Next Year
Step 1: Preparing for the New School Year in Spring
What can be done in Spring? • High School/Middle School • Move incoming students to the next database for scheduling • Elementary • Enroll incoming students • Create placements • Assign next year teachers
Other Important Information… • The actual rollover process needs to wait until after the school year has ended • Gather information, such as possible retentions, homerooms, and lockers • Be sure not to enter this data until the rollover • Elementary can enter Next Year teachers • This can be on final report cards
Step 2: Completing the Current School Year
Step 3: The Rollover Process
The Rollover Process *Only one person needs to complete this per building *This should be done in the SUMMER *There is no rush to do this process
Promoting and Retaining Students

To Promote and Retain Students… • Select which students will be retained
To Promote and Retain Students… • Enter a graduation date, if necessary
To Promote and Retain Students… • Do this for EACH grade level • Make sure to work from the highest to the lowest • This step doesn’t change their grade level • It simply marks them as Promoted or Retained
Advancing Grade Levels
To Advance Grade Levels… • Make sure you have completed all the necessary items • If not, stop the process and finish those items
To Advance Grade Levels… • Select if you wish to clear any data • When in doubt, do NOT clear • This can always be cleared after rollover
To Advance Grade Levels… • Select the grade level to advance • Begin with your HIGHEST grade level and work down

Assigning Lockers (MS/HS Only)

IF YOU ARE SCHEDULING… • Continue to work in the Show Next Year navigator as normal • We will change current year views to match Show Next Year during the summer

Can I do the rollover steps out of order? • The first steps of Promote/Retain, Advance Grade Level, and Add School Year must be done in order • Homerooms, Lockers, and Placements can be done at any time during the process
What happens if a student is a “No Show” in the fall? • Put the withdrawal date as the first day of school • We do not recommend withdrawal dates outside the school year dates
What happens if a student enrolls in the summer? • An enrollment date is not necessary for the first day of school • If you wish to record a date, use the first date of attendance (first day of school)
What happens if I forget to clear information at the time of rollover? • Data can be cleared after rollover in Office Use…More Student Views…Rollover Fields
