This checklist may help when completing the end of year processes. It is important to seek direction from your governing body or systemic board office to determine what reports and information the school needs to produce in the coming year. This is mostly in terms of Attendance/Census reports, Academic reports and any other data required specifically for your jurisdiction.

The tasks below must be completed before you rollover of students and families from one year to another within your school's administration system (eg: Synergetic, PC School, AoS, CESiS, MAZE, etc) which then will sync accordingly into SEQTA.

If your school is syncing data from an external data source and you are using the MANAGE SYNC profile with an active or future timetable, your sync will still be active. Please disable the sync profile before rolling over the students in your admin system. See step 2 below.

Please be aware that if any of the steps mentioned in this article are missed and a rollback of student demographics is required, this service will incur a fee.

BEFORE STUDENT ROLLOVER 

Disable Manage Sync Profile

Archive Academic Reports

Print and Save Attendance and Pastoral care Reports 

DOEWA attendance data exports from the enterprise admin system.

SEQTA Attendance exports are imported into the enterprise admin system on a continual basis and therefore printing and saving attendance reports is a recommendation only.

Printing and Saving Pastoral care reports is a school-based decision option. An end of year Suspension and Withdrawal pastoral care reports can be useful.

CREATE THE UPCOMING TIMETABLE AND CALENDAR:  

NOTE: This can be done prior to student roll over
