Kindergarten Readiness Collection Prerequisites

  2. Verify that Kindergarten grades have the correct State Code Equiv (KG) in the Grades validation table.
  3. Verify that Kindergarten students have the correct values on the OR Kindergarten Readiness page.

Submission Files Panel

The SSID Data Section checbox is selected by default. Select the Talented and Gifted Section and Kindergarten Readiness checkboxes.
Tip: for better performance, use some sort of filter, even if it is a filter that includes all of your buildings. Running the Download without a filter at all slows performance. The best filter would be an Area of Entry/Withdrawal, Field Name Building, Condition of 'is in" and then all buildings in the Value field separated by commas.

  1. Review the errors on the Task Log Messages page and update the data as necessary.
  2. Once any data updates are made, repeat step 1 using the same prompt values. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 until all errors are corrected.
