Address validation

Google Maps™, a visual mapping service, is available to the District Administrator for the various tasks, depending on the year-end transfer method employed by the district:

= For a district that employs the Projected School Map Year-End Transfer Method, the District Administrator can ensure student addresses are valid (one or more at a time) and to create district and school boundaries. The administrator can also validate student addresses against the defined boundaries.
= For a district that employs the Geocode Map Year-End Transfer Method, the District Administrator has the option of using automatic address validation, Google Maps address validation, or both.

For further information, see the Chancery SMS Address and Boundary Validation Guide [see Addenda >>] [see Addenda >>]

To configure address validation [DA]:

Description

Address Validation

Use Address Validation

If you selected 5-field address and the Geocode Map year end transfer method, and you want to use address validation, choose Use Address Validation and edit the Address Validation section.

Method of Generating address range numbers

To have Chancery SMS automatically generate address ranges, select Automatic. To manually enter address range numbers when you define address ranges, select Manual.

Check Student Addresses Against School Zones

Select this option to activate address validation.

Note: Do not select this option until you have finished setting up the Geocode maps and address ranges.

Enter Address by Selection Only

Select this option if users are required to select a predefined address range rather than manually entering the students address.

Require District Approval for Address Exceptions

Select this option if the district must approve out-of-zone enrollments.

Control Access to the "Enroll Student in a School" Link for School Users

Select this option to disable the "Enroll Student in a School" link on the Registration Steps page for school users when:

The student is already enrolled in another school in the district.

An address exception does not exist for the student for the school user's school.

Reason Codes

Before you can make reason codes required, you must set up the appropriate setup lists to include reason codes. If the reason code setup list includes reasons and this check box is selected, the user must select a reason code before making changes to student information. Reason codes can be set up for the following features:

= Scheduling Changes - applies to manual changes made to student schedules in the Active Calendar. Reason codes are not required when automated processes are used to create student schedules, e.g., student loader or master schedule builder. Change reason codes are displayed on the student's Schedule Change History page. For more information about setting up the Schedule Change Reasons setup list refer to Using setup lists to facilitate data entry [>>].

= Calculated Grade Overrides - when selected, an override reason must be selected when users change calculated grades for a student.

= Honor Roll Overrides - when selected, an override reason must be selected when users change honor roll status for a student.

= Wait List Rank Overrides - when selected, an override reason must be selected when users change the wait list status for students.

Program Management

Enter the number of students a Home Hospital instructor can provide services to, at any one time.

Attendance

Specify how you want attendance summaries to roll over to the secondary historical page and elementary permanent record.

At this time, attendance summaries can be saved in the elementary permanent record, although you cannot use Chancery SMS to view the elementary permanent record.

For each of the Present Totals, Absent Totals, and Tardy Totals fields, select one of the following options:

values – the sum of the attendance values for the attendance codes assigned to the student (rounded to two decimal places).

occurrences – the number of attendance codes assigned to the student expressed in whole numbers.
