State Information System (SIS) Cycle 1 training will be held at the Educational Cooperatives during the month of July. A schedule of the training sites, dates and times is attached to this memo. The training schedules for SIS Cycles 2-7 will be released in a separate Director’s Memo during the month of July and the training sessions will be held throughout the month of August.
The training sessions for SIS Cycle 1 range in dates from July 7 through July 31, 2003. It is essential that the State Reporting Coordinator, Financial System Administrator and/or Bookkeeper, and Student System Administrator from the district attend one of the training sessions. In some school districts one staff member may cover more than one of these areas of responsibility and, in that case, someone else who would benefit from the training may attend. Due to limited space, please send no more than three persons to the training.
Also attached to this memo is a Statewide Information System (SIS) Coordinators Application Form. This form is to be completed and returned ONLY IF the SIS Coordinator and/or the Cycle 1 Coordinator for the district has changed. If there has been a change, fax the completed form to the attention of Tinika Ricks, APSCN SIS Programming, 501-682-5035.
This training will greatly benefit the school district by clarifying the state reporting process and providing the proper procedures to submit error free reports.
