The following checklist is designed to assist school administrative units (SAUs) with publicly funded students in completing required end of year reports. The dates listed after each report are when the report is open for entry and due for certification, if required.
Synergy: The following items are available in the Synergy Student Information System. Please visit the Synergy Instructions Helpdesk Page for Synergy codes to be used for the items below.
Special Education – exit any students who have left special education: Special Education will not need to be ended unless the student is exiting the special education program. Special Education services will need to be uploaded each year. Special Education Exit Reporting Instructions
Update/End ALL Enrollments (done last):
Manual Student Enrollment Exit Instructions
Upload Student Enrollment Exit Instructions
- DOE will NOT be automatically ending enrollments
- Concurrent enrollment MUST be ended before the primary enrollment can be ended
- All students will need to be exited on their actual last day of school. This may be verified using “Attending Student Report”
- June 30 should not be automatically populated for the last day of school
- Future exit dates that are more than 7 days out are not permitted in the system
- Ending a student’s enrollment will end Economic Status and Truancy – to avoid this, update Truancy records prior to ending enrollments
- Ending enrollments will prevent you from manually updating Attendance Data. Once an enrollment has been ended, attendance data can only be modified by uploading the data.
- New enrollments will need to be uploaded/entered as well as special education information each school year.
