12 Preparation cont. Process Server Settings 300 minutes run time or greater (max is 360 minutes) Option Sets Considerations for more efficient processing: Not more than 10 schools per set 5,000 – 7,000 students per set Plan to run during off hours Consider running in a test environment first

13 Grid Codes Usage The Grid Code process is different from the Non-Grid Code process Synergy SIS >> System >> Setup >> Address Grid Definition Synergy SIS >> System >> Setup >> Address Grid Definition There are grid code options in the School of Residence Option in District Setup >> Address Options There are grid code options in the School of Residence Option in District Setup >> Address Options

35 The “Year Type” setting controls the overall function of the chosen NYR set Setting Rollover Type to “Summer” will take the Summer School field settings for individual students and assign them to Summer School Year and Rollover Type

36 Grid Code Districts You will not need to run a process for the lower grades and then another process for the high grade on feeder schools. Unless your state requires a different enter code for a student going to a new school within the district The next school will be assigned automatically based on the grid code for the student’s address

37 Setup for Grid Code schools

38 Retentions Student View / Other Info Tab / Next Year group box (current year focus) Enter data in the following fields as applies Next Grade Level and/or Next School This process can be repeated numerous times and will change student next year, grade, and school
