Data Tracker Survey - Consider completing
The K12 Data Team is asking for your feedback on how to improve the Data Tracker (what we lovingly call the Bob Tracker). Please take a moment to complete this survey if you have thoughts on data points you value, wish to see, or think ought to be removed.
Reoccuring/Reference Info
Semester Withdrawals
If you have families that notify you they are going to withdraw the student at the end of the semester, you can submit the withdrawal through DocuSign at any time. You must use 1/16/19 as the Last Day of Attendance on the survey – if that day is listed, we will hold the WD until after S1/Q2 grades post before we process the withdrawal. If the current day is used (or a past date), we will process those withdrawals normally.
If you would also include a comment stating “semester withdrawal,” that would be helpful as well.
