End of Year procedures

Processing Leavers is the most time critical element in the End of year procedures. Also if you want Analysis from Achievement it must be done before the Leavers are removed. Writing off Donations and Publishing Reports are also recommended to be done before the end of the calendar year. All other things can be done at any time

 

  1. Print and Export any Achievement Analysis needed (particularly for leavers as they will dissappear in the next step)
  2. Process Leavers - This is best done after school is finished and before the end of the Calendar year
  3. Set up the Calendar for the new Year
  4. Adding and removing Staff
  5. Set up classes for the new Year
  6. Set up Timetable for Secondary and Area Schools
  7. Ensure all Reports are Generated and Published before the end of the Year
  8. Print and Export any Attendance data/ Analysis needed
  9. Print any Finance data needed
  10. Write off any donations still outstanding (after statements are sent)
  11. Set up new billable items for the new Year

Processing Leavers

  • Students in their last year (by year level) at their current school are listed on the People > Students > Process Leaver - Final Year Students page.

The year level on enrolled students automatically increments once the new year begins in edge. For Pre-Enrolled students, the year level does not increment in the new year, remaining at the level it was entered.

A student's status changes from Pre-enrolled to Enrolled once the 'Start Date here' matches the current date AND 'Present' attendance data has been entered.

  • If no class for the current year has been entered against an Enrolled student, (s)he will be listed under ‘Unassigned’ on the People > Students > Enrolment Summary page 

  • If a year level has not been entered against a Pre-enrolled student, (s)he will be listed under ‘Undefined’ on the People > Students > Student Counts > Pre-enrolled students page
