AIM COVID-19 Information Updates

The following is the latest COVID-19 information specific to how districts should be recording data in their student information systems:

 

Calendars: The OPI is NOT instructing the districts to modify their calendars to record instructional and/or non-instructional days related to the COVID-19 school closures.  For those cases where the district has decided to change their previously defined spring break dates, then the district should update their student information system calendars to reflect any adjustments made to the timing of their spring break.

 

Attendance: Districts that are providing remote instruction should mark their students' attendance as present or absent according to their district policies.  For those districts that use Infinite Campus as their local student information system, the Infinite Campus version update applied on the weekend of 4/10/20 includes a COVID-19 attendance solution.  See Campus Community news articles and the release notes for the RX Pack 2008.15.  Also, please see the 'School Closures' section of the OPI COVID-19 Information page for more information on Attendance.

 

Enrollments: Districts should continue to enroll students even if educational services are not being provided because there are other services such as nutrition that could be provided during the closure.

 

More COVID-19 information is available on the OPI web page.
