INFORMATION AND SUPPORT FOR DALLAS ISD EASYIEP™ USERS
ServiceNow Customer Service Surveys
At SDMS, we are always seeking new ways to improve customer service. And the best way to do that is to ask the experts—our customers.
- Your input will help us to improve our services.
- Your feedback will help us develop additional supports.
- Your positive comments will let us know what we are doing right.
ARD/IEP Digital Signatures
Things to know about Digital signatures-
- Once a “Signature Required?”checkbox is selected, the ARD/IEP Process screens become read only. To open the ARD for changes, deselect the checkbox(es) under the Signature Required? column.
- Deselecting a checkbox will remove initials entered. Those initials/digital signatures must be obtained again.
- General Education Teachers can sign digitally. See revised guide for directions.
- Parents cannot sign digitally because they do not have EAD logins.
Important: Selecting or deselecting “Signature Required?”checkboxes will not reset any screens or events.
Enhancements Coming December 2020
- Modifications to Instructional and Related Services selections.
- Graduation options when student is not required to pass state assessments.
- Surrogate and foster parent questions.
