Dear Colleagues,
I wanted to take a few moments and give you some updates
regarding Advanced Opportunities before you head out for your Christmas
break.
Fall Data has been Processed: Our office has
finished processing the data for the Fall term. Please take a moment to view
the “Courses Awaiting SDE submission” report for any items that have been sent
back for review. Any courses that we’ve sent back are in the status
“School level received.” You can click on the course name and view comments
that explain why the course or exam was sent back.
Payments: We have sent payment requests to our
finance department. Districts and colleges should see funds hit their
accounts, or a check within the next week or so. Please make sure your
business office is apprised of the funds, and what they apply toward. All
receipts are available in the “Billing Statements” reports in the portal. When
clicking on the arrow, you will find a detailed breakdown of all payments.
Spring Request Window: The window for
entering spring funding requests will be January 8 through February 23th.
If for some reason you’d like to adjust your data entry window to open sooner,
please contact me directly.
Professional Development: Our team is
constantly seeking to bring relevant and meaningful professional development
opportunities to you in order to assist you in your work with students. Please
take one minute to fill out this survey that will better
inform our efforts this coming spring.
Symposium Events: This year our team will be
hosting the Student Readiness Symposiums similar to last year. These will be
day-long training events focused on best-practices around advising and
College/Career Readiness. Please mark your calendars and save the dates for
your region.
