The following tables show the data elements used in the Student Success Behavior Module. The actual names and locations of the fields in each student information system may vary, but these data pieces all come from office referral data entry in the district's student information system (SIS). The data element links to a table, if there is a specified set of possible entries.
Data Elements:
Consult your SIS (Infinite Campus, JMC, Powerschool) vendor’s support documents for details about how the fields are set up and where they can be found in the SIS. Districts are encouraged to discuss definitions and provide training to all staff who may be submitting office referral incident data in order to improve the consistency in coding of incidents, consequences, etc.
