TABLE OF CONTENTS
This document should be read in conjunction with the SEQTA End of Year manual. Some tasks can be completed at either end of year, beginning of year, or both.
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.
These reports need to be run and saved before you start with the Start of Year Process/Check-List
The tasks below must be completed after student roll over and you have gone through the end of year check-list.
End of Year Check-List
PREPARATION FOR SEQTA SET-UP IN THE SCHOOL'S ADMINISTRATION DATABASE:
- New staff members for the upcoming school year have been entered
- Student rollover has been completed and class lists printed (if required)
If your school uses an external timetabling software (eg: EdVal, Timetabler etc), a new sync profile must be set up before the timetable will be rolled out and synced into SEQTA
It is suggested that your timetable and the relevant Sync Profile, be setup at least 2 weeks prior to the return of staff, so that any issues can be attended to.
