Rx Pack - Campus.2040

The following corrections are included in Rx Packs for September and October 2020. Rx Packs contain a small number of critical cases to fix urgent issues, with delivery in an immediate time frame (e.g., the fix cannot wait for the next four week Release Pack).

It is recommended that customers apply all subsequent Release Packs immediately following Rx Packs. Doing so will benefit both customers and Infinite Campus when it comes to supporting the patch.

Rx Packs are cumulative; each Rx pack will automatically include all previous Rx packs within that release. These cases will also be included in the Campus.2044 pack unless otherwise noted.

Below is a list of all Rx Packs for Campus.2040 and the date of availability:

  • Rx Pack Campus.2040.10 - Friday, October 30, 2020
  • Rx Pack Campus.2040.9 - Wednesday, October 21, 2020
  • Rx Pack Campus.2040.8 - Friday, October 16, 2020
  • Rx Pack Campus.2040.6 - Friday, October 9, 2020
  • Rx Pack Campus.2040.5 - Thursday, October 8, 2020
  • Rx Pack Campus.2040.4 - Friday, October 2, 2020
  • Rx Pack Campus.2040.3 - Thursday, October 1, 2020

Massachusetts – Virtual Day Attendance Override Added (SIS-141936)

A Virtual Day Event Override was added to Day > Type attribute. This field helps in attendance reporting for calendars where blended learning groups were not set up completely correct at the beginning of the school year. This option allows districts to count a calendar day as virtual for the district even if blended learning groups were not set up.

To properly report attendance for Virtual Day Override Events on calendars, the following SIF logic was modified:

  • StudentAttendanceSummary/DaysAttended
    • In Person is defined as a student who does not have a Blended Learning Group assigned to them or is in a Blended Learning Group that is not assigned to a Day Event on the Calendar or there is NOT a Virtual Day Override Event on the calendar.
  • StudentAttendanceSummary/ExcusedAbsences
    • In Person is defined as a student who does not have a Blended Learning Group assigned to them or is in a Blended Learning Group that is not assigned to a Day Event on the Calendar or there is NOT a Virtual Day Override Event on the calendar.
  • StudentAttendanceSummary/UnexcusedAbsences
    • In Person is defined as a student who does not have a Blended Learning Group assigned to them or is in a Blended Learning Group that is not assigned to a Day Event on the Calendar or there is NOT a Virtual Day Override Event on the calendar.
  • StudentAttendanceSummary/DaysAttendedRemote
    • To determine virtual, look at the blended learning group the student is in and the instructional days the blended learning group is added to the calendar as a day event OR there is a Virtual Day Override Event on the calendar.
  • StudentAttendanceSummary/DaysAbsentRemote
    • To determine virtual, look at the blended learning group the student is in and the instructional days the blended learning group is added to the calendar as a day event OR there is a Virtual Day Override Event on the calendar.

The following elements on the SIMS Extract have been updated to account for Virtual Day Override events:

  • daysInAttendance
    • A student is considered in-person if they are NOT in a blended learning group OR they are in a blended learning group where there is NOT a day event on that instructional day or there is NOT a Virtual Day Override Event on the calendar.
  • studentTruancy
    • A student is considered in-person if they are NOT in a blended learning group OR they are in a blended learning group where there is NOT a day event on that instructional day Or there is NOT a Virtual Day Override Event on the calendar.
  • daysAttendedRemote
    • To determine virtual, look at the blended learning group the student is in and the instructional days the blended learning group is added to the calendar as a day event OR there is a Virtual Day Override Event on the calendar.
      • If a student is not in a blended learning group and there is not the Virtual Override Day Event on the Calendar, report 0
  • daysAbsentRemote
    • To determine virtual, look at the blended learning group the student is in and the instructional days the blended learning group is added to the calendar as a day event OR there is a Virtual Day Override Event on the calendar.

Also, for StaffAssignment population logic, if all assigned sections have no students with primary enrollments rostered into the course, staff assignment will not pull.

  • The StudentAcademicRecord/AssessmentPerformanceHistory/Assessment section of StudentAcademicRecord has been updated to report the SubtestCategory when the Subject is selected on the Test Setup and the Assessment/Name must report the Test Setup > Test Detail > National Test National Code from the topmost parent assessment with National Test > National Code = "AP", "SAT" or "ACT".
  • StudentAttendanceSummary/DaysAttended was incorrectly reporting greater than DaysInMembership. This has been corrected so that Attendance days always count distinct calendar days. If the student qualifies as report present in either, they should be considered present. DaysAttended must never be > DaysInMembership.
  • Logic for the StudentPersonal/SIF_ExtendedElements/SIF_ ExtendedElement[@Name='UTExtensions']/ StudentPersonalExtensions/ResidentStatus element has been updated so that when Resident Status is Null:
    • When an attribute Default Value exists, report the Attribute Default Value.
    • When an attribute Default Value does not exist, Reports blank.

    • When Local Start Status is NOT mapped to 04 or 05:
      • Count of days on and between the IEP Plan Start Date and the earliest of (the current date (do not add +1), enrollment SPED Exit Date + 1, IEP Plan End Date + 1, and latest instructional day in the student's latest enrollment calendar in the Zone Year + 1)
  • Logic for Youth In Care Program Records - StudentParticipation/ExtendedElement/DaysInMembership element has been updated to the following:
    • When the latest associated enrollment in the SIF Zone Scope that has a Local Start Status mapped to 04 or 05, reports “000”.
    • When Local Start Status is NOT mapped to 04 or 05:
      • Reports the count of days between the Youth In Care Start Date and End Date + 1 when End date is not null.
      • When the Youth In Care End Date is null, the End Date is considered to be the last instructional day in the student’s latest enrolled calendar.
  • The StudentAcademicRecord/CourseHistory/SchoolAttendedRefId will use the following hierarchy when reporting:
    • SchoolID if that exists based on matching School Number/Name
    • School Number if it is entered but not matching schoolID is found.
    • School Number of student’s most recent enrolled school if no School Number is entered in transcript
    • 9999
  • Logic for the StudentAcademicRecord/AssessmentPerformanceHistory/Assessment/AdministrationDate has been corrected so that when the Date Field is blank, logic reports the Date from any parent assessments it’s attached to, beginning with the direct parent and working up until a non-blank Date field is found.
  • Logic for the StudentAcademicRecord/SchoolAttendanceHistory/SchoolAttended/SchoolInfoData/NCESId element has been removed.
  • StudentAttendanceSummary/DaysAttended logic has been updated to consider a student absent when they are marked absent/exempt. A student must only be considered not in attendance when all of their enrolled periods are marked absent or exempt.

NOTE: Districts will need to create 3 new Attendance Codes to properly report Virtual Attendance data. Please make the following:

  • DVA
    • Status: Absent
    • Excuse: Excused or Unexcused (district decision)
  • DVAP
    • Status: Present
    • Excuse: Excused
  • COV
    • Status: Absent
    • Excuse: Excused

To support these new Attendance Codes and properly report daily Virtual student attendance to the state, SIF StudentDailyAttendance logic was updated to include the following:

  • Non-blended learning group:
    • When the student's day does NOT qualify to report 0.5 or 1.0 absent (calculated as we currently do - no change):
      • When the student has an attendance code with Code = "DVAP" assigned to any instructional period in the day, report a StudentDailyAttendance record for the student and day that references (in AttendanceCodeInfoRefId) the DVAP attendance code (which, FYI, will be a "Present" status attendance code).
  • Blended Learning in use for virtual education:
    • When the student is assigned to a blended learning group that is also assigned to this specific calendar day, AND the student does NOT calculate as half (0.5) or full day (1.0) absent:
      • Report a StudentDailyAttendance record for the student and day that references (in AttendanceCodeInfoRefId) the DVAP attendance code (which, FYI, will be a "Present" status attendance code).
