Welcome to 2010!
DASL Associated Press (DS) I don't believe it, half the school year is over and we are already getting prepared for 2010-2011.  Time flies when you're having fun!  You may want to be careful, Cupid is on the loose, I have arrows all over my office, boy do I love my job!  LACA would like to welcome you to the new year, and what better way than letting you know what to expect:

School Year Initialization:
Student Services will be initializing the 2010-2011 school year in DASL starting the first week of January and we hope to have most of them completed by the third week of January.  Those in charge of scheduling will want to prepare for the scheduling classes starting in February and continuing through April.  LACA will be publishing a Scheduling Checklist explaining what should be accomplished before coming to the classes.  We also have scheduled extra open labs in case you need help preparing for scheduling. If you need our help using the DASL Public Module this year - please contact LACA and schedule one of our student services staff to assist you.


SINC:
New Reports.  There have been several new reports created in SINC.  Don't forget to check every now and then to see if any of them would may be useful to your building or district.  Thanks to everyone that gave LACA the report ideas!

Export.  There is a new report in SINC which allows you to export assessment information into an excel spreadsheet.  The report is called Excel Data Export and is located under the General Category.  If you have any questions, please contact us.


DASL Release:
Don't forget to read the release notes for the new DASL release.  There are significant changes with the SIS Student Search in EZQUERY.  One thing we noticed is they removed address from this, but you use the new SINC Report called EXCEL Data Export located in SINC.  The release notes are located in SINC under Documentation.
