Business Logic

  • A student may only have one active Early Literacy record at a time. Overlapping records are not allowed.
  • Early Literacy records are considered program records, and each instance of a student's participation in the program has a start and end date.
  • Early Literacy Start and End Dates are NOT tied to the student Enrollment or School Calendar records.
  • The Federal/State Program Updater can be used to bulk update Early Literacy records.
  •  State and District-defined elements are allowed.

Detail Screen

The Detail Screen allows users with the appropriate tool rights to view and modify the student's Early Literacy record. For additional information, see the Tool Rights section.
