Business Logic

  • A student may only have one active Early Literacy and Early Numeracy record at a time.
  • Early Literacy and Early Numeracy records can have overlapping dates, but dates for an Early Literacy record cannot overlap with dates for another Early Literacy record, and dates for an Early Numeracy record cannot overlap with dates for another Early Numeracy record.
  • Early Literacy and Early Numeracy records are considered program records, and each instance of a student's participation in the program has a start and end date.
  • Early Literacy and Early Numeracy Start and End Dates are NOT tied to the student Enrollment or School Calendar records.
  • The Federal/State Program Updater can bulk update Early Literacy and Early Numeracy 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 and Early Numeracy records. For additional information, see the Tool Rights section.
