OPI COVID-19 Information

To help answer common questions from districts some general guidance has been provided by the OPI on taking attendance during remote learning.
 
In general, the OPI relies on the districts' policies and procedures on taking attendance for students during remote and hybrid modes of teaching. Overall, if/when districts are providing instruction for students that are learning remotely (including when a student is in quarantine), districts are required to take attendance. For the full set of OPI guidance article on COVID-19, please see the OPI COVID-19 Information Page which includes a link with information pertaining to 'Accreditation, Aggregate hours, and Attendance guidance'.

OPI's Missing Child Photo Repository

We want to remind you to upload student directory photos to the OPI for inclusion in the missing child photo repository. The repository provides law enforcement with immediate, 24/7, year-round access to a child’s school photo should a child be reported missing. Please review our AIM Student Photo Repository User Guide for detailed instructions on how to complete this process. 

AIM District Contacts

The districts’ AIM Primary Contact is who we rely on for being the liaison between the district and the state. We deal mainly with the main AIM Primary Contact when assisting districts with their student data. It is up to the district to decide who the main AIM Primary Contact is. Use this form to add or change any AIM Contact Information.

 

This list displays the current AIM Primary Contact, AIM Backup Contact, and other AIM Technical Contacts for all districts that are stored in the Contacts Database. The column titled 'Source' refers to whether the contact is listed as a System Level Contact or a School Level Contact. System Level Contacts are those persons responsible for reporting data for the entire school district, while the School Level Contact only reports data for the individual school and may not be responsible for data for other schools within the same district. If there are any errors in this report, please use the AIM District Contact Form above to submit any changes.
