Sending student section for a section the student is associated to during the school year

Student Section Association connects a student to a section and gathers information about the course in which the student is enrolled.

All primary enrollments of a student should report Roster information to WISEdata. Report Roster data for all periods of time when a student is/was enrolled in your school/district.

Sending student section for a student taking courses in multiple schools

Students sometimes take multiple courses in multiple schools, such as students enrolled in a middle school taking most classes at the middle school, but also taking a class at the high school.

In this case, the middle school submits a primary primary along with the Roster data. The high school submits a non-primary ‘Coursework’ enrollment and Roster data only for the one or two courses taken at the high school.

Sending students receiving only Speech and Language Services or only Therapy/Social Interaction

Sending students in jails or juvenile detention centers

County jails and juvenile detention centers have schools within them that are operated by the local school district. School districts should treat these schools as any other district-operated school (and report Roster, Attendance, etc...).

For school districts that have students who are attending jail or detention schools outside of their district borders, the LEA housing the school will do all the reporting.

Sending a high school student taking college courses

High school students are eligible to receive credits from technical colleges, the University of Wisconsin colleges and universities, tribal colleges, and nonprofit institutions of higher education if they successfully complete a course taught by a high school teacher using high school curriculum. Dual enrollment includes a variety of programs through which high school students are enrolled simultaneously in both high school and college to earn both high school and college credit.

Students must be associated with a section, course, and a local (district) teacher. Though it's up to your district which classroom position descriptor to choose for the teacher's role, DPI recommends using ‘Instructor of Record’. In this scenario a monitoring educator from the district may be assigned as the ‘Instructor of Record’. The actual teacher in the post-secondary school or institution is NOT submitted to Roster.

Sending the student attempt status for the section

Generally, the SIS should not send to WISEdata courses for which the student was enrolled with the intent of earning a grade but did NOT earn a grade (i.e. transfer out of school at any time in the term or dropped out). The attempt status is available in case the SIS is sending them and cannot remove the student section association; this should be an exception, not the norm. DPI suggests that the Attempt Status be entred by the LEA, and requests limits on vendor imposed defaults to only exist when the default value is appropriate for nearly all students.

Sending a student who is in the section until end of the term and received a grade/mark

POST on /studentSchoolAssociation:

  • Starting Attempt Status should be either 'Sufficient' or NULL - Grade resource is submitted

  • After a Grade is received, the final Attempt Status will change to ‘Sufficient

  • Performance Base Conversion Type is either 'Pass' or 'Fail'

6.1

Sending a student who is in the section until end of the term, and did NOT receive a grade/mark but grade could have been earned

6.2

Sending a student who is in the section until end of the term, and did NOT receive a grade/mark but no grade including (pass/fail) may be earned.Note: Auditing a course means a student can take classes but cannot be graded or given credit for a particular course. A student who does not receive a Pass / Fail in the course does NOT count as a participant in that course for CTE or CE reporting purposes.

POST on /studentSchoolAssociation:

  • Starting Attempt Status should be either 'Sufficient' or NULL - Grade resource is submitted

  • After a Grade is received, the final Attempt Status will change to ‘Sufficient

  • Performance Base Conversion Type is 'Not Graded'

6.3

Sending a student who is in the section until end of the term, and did NOT receive a grade/mark becase it is an audited course

POST on /studentSchoolAssociation

LEA can choose to send the Attempt Status as either 'Sufficient' and 'Not Graded' or 'Insufficient'

6.4

Sending a student who withdrew from the section but received a grade

POST on /studentSchoolAssociation:

  • Starting Attempt Status should be either 'Sufficient' or NULL

  • Grade resource is submitted

  • After a Grade is received, change Attempt Status to 'Sufficient

6.5

Sending a student who withdrew from the section and did NOT receive a grade
This may also applies to students who dropped the class without receiving a grade, transferred out of the section due to schedule change or similar without receiving a grade, dropped out of school without receiving a grade in the specific course, or transferred out of the school without receiving a grade in the specific course

POST on /studentSchoolAssociation:

  • Starting Attempt Status should be either 'Sufficient' or NULL

  • Do not submit /Grade resource.

  • Attempt status is ‘Insufficient

6.6

Sending a student who dropped out of the section, joined back in the same section within the same term, and received an outcome

There should be two student section association records:

POST on /studentSchoolAssociation (1):

  • For the first student section association record, the LEA ends the student section association and submits attempt status as ‘Insufficient’.

POST on /studentSchoolAssociation (2):

  • When the student joins back, a second student section association with a new begin date is created with attempt status as ‘Sufficient or NULL’.

  • Grade resource is submitted

  • Once the grade is assigned, the attempt status of second record is changed to ‘Sufficient’. The attempt status is linked to whether the student had an accompanying grade earned.

  • Performance Base Conversion Type is sent

6.7

Sending a student who dropped out of the section, joined back in the same section within the same term, and did NOT receive the grade

There should be two student section association records.

POST on /studentSchoolAssociation (1):

  • For the first student section association record, the LEA ends the student section association and submits attempt status as ‘Insufficient’.

POST on /studentSchoolAssociation (2):

  • Grade resource is NOT submitted

7.0

Sending a student who's enrolled in multiple sections and participating in CE program

If a student exits a section and returns to the same section within the same term, the SIS ends the initial student section and creates a new student section with a new start date. In both instances, the student section should be associated with student program participation.

Example: student left the class and joined back in the same section.

student Section A
