Summer Student Record Collection and Miscellaneous Statistics |
To comply with the information and
reporting requirements for adequate yearly progress, report cards and
performance indicators of the No Child
Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB), the Department of Education is conducting
the Summer Student Record Collection for the 2007-2008 school year.
The 2007-2008 Summer Student Record
Collection should reflect both summer school graduate and Career and Technical
(CTE) Finisher information. Only graduates who earned a diploma during summer
school should be included in the 2007-2008 Summer Student Record Collection.
Every school division must complete a
summer submission in order to generate the Final Term Graduate Report. The Final
Term Graduate Report shows data that will be reported for your division. A
detailed listing of the data elements on the student record and instructions
for completing and submitting the data can be found on the Virginia Department
of Education’s Web site at http://www.doe.virginia.gov/VDOE/Publications/student-coll/new_coll.html.
Data are
required by the Department of Education on or before the closing date of August
29, 2008. Early submission and verification is strongly encouraged as the
Department of Education intends to publicly release final graduation data based
on the student record soon after the closing of this data collection. The Summer Student Record Collection will be
open and accessible through the Single Sign-on for Web Systems (SSWS) by August
1, 2008.
Questions or comments relating to the 2007-08 Summer Student Record Collection should be
directed to Educational Applications at RESULTSHELP@doe.virginia.gov or
(804) 786-3112 (option 4).
