SIS 2000+ Student Program History

Sec. 3, Enter a Student in a Special Program

3.1 Find a student
(see Sec. 1 , Step 3.1 for the Find procedure)

3.2 View Recommendations
Before a student is placed in a special program, the student is usually recommended for that program by concerned teacher, parent/guardian, physician, etc. To view a list of the selected student's recommendations:

• Click on the Edit button at the bottom of the main Student Program History screen to activate the edit mode.
• Click on the 'Recommendations' tab to view the list of recommendations. Although Student Program History itself does not enroll students in programs defined as Special Education, the Recommendations screen will show all special program referrals for the student, including Special Education programs.
• Click on Done to go back to the main screen. See Sec. 2, Step 2.4 for further details on viewing recommendations.


Note:
The edit mode for viewing sub-screens can only be accessed if the student has been placed in at least one special program. If there are no special programs listed, the edit mode cannot be activated. In this case the student's recommendations can only be viewed in the Special Program Recommendations program.

Conflict Errors:
Two special programs with the same conflict identifier (defined in Special Programs Editor) cannot have overlapping date ranges, that is, a student cannot be enrolled in both programs concurrently on any given day. The date range of the enrollment period is determined by the Entry Date and Exit Date fields. If there are any overlapping days between conflicting programs an error message will occur (Fig. 19), preventing the second program to be added and saved.
