Other Forms and Logs

3. A new “Graduate seniors” tool has been created and added under Admin Reporting. Clicking ‘Graduate seniors’ will set all students with a grade of ’12’ and no other status end code to the status end code of ‘EXIT 08: Student graduated’. This helps easily inactive all students who have graduated.
(Requested by: Mark Oehrlein, SpEd Forms #DE-2531)
4. A new searchable admin report titled “Service hours” has been added.
(Requested by: SpEd Forms, #DE-2496)
This report supports the reporting of Special Education Service Hours (SESH) by enrollment record which is required by MDE for specific groups of students with disabilities. To maximize the value of this new report, districts either

  1. import enrollment records from their student information systems or create enrollment records using the SpEd Forms’ enrollment function. Find this function within the Enrollment and Attendance folder in the forms menu.
  2. ensure use of the Service reconciliation form. Located within each student’s Service Plan folder, the Service reconciliation form allows educators to efficiently find and resolve the overlap in service dates which happens when a service plan is amended mid-year or when a new annual plan is finalized before the projected end date of the previous plan. Important note: The Service Reconciliation Form is exclusively available in version 2.0. A short video has been posted to our YouTube channel to support use of the Service Reconciliation tool:

(Requested by: SpEd Forms, #DE-2567)
4. Ongoing improvement to SpEd Forms is evident in the updating of many old menus into a more modern programming language. This month SpEd Forms updated the Admin and Educator Combined Reports. The convenience of offline report generation has been added.
