Sending Data:
- If we have 0 CALPADS IVR Errors in SIRAS and there are a significant amount of pending records waiting to be sent, then we should send data from Siras to CALPADS (CALPADS Reporting tab).
- When and how often your district sends data is a local decision but CDE and Siras both suggest minimally sending data at least once a month.
- Email [email protected] for further information.
Calendar Events
- Send Data minimally monthly, adding a calendar event can help remind about the task.
- Run SSID extracts monthly to look for foundlings, calendar it.
- Review DRDP Not started or incomplete each week. Goal is to have no records on this list.
- Run DRDP Incomplete reports and send reminders second week week of Oct. and April.
- Run DRDP Incomplete reports and send reminders first week of Nov. and May.
- When staff complete DRDP data entry and validate with no errors, that removes the entry from the incomplete list.
- Making record inactive if they were not enrolled during DRDP rating window will remove entry from the DRDP incomplete list.
- Updating district enrollment date to show they enrolled after deadline, will remove entry from the incomplete list.
- Remind staff. DRDP help
