Tool Search: On Track
The On Track tool provides a way to indicate whether a student is successful in school and is keeping up with grade level requirements to graduate on time. This information reports in the On Track File.
Use the Federal/State Program Updater to import existing On Track records for students or to update records for multiple students.
Overlapping records are not allowed. When a student's program status changes, the current record needs to be ended, and a new record needs to be added with the new program status.
Read - Access and view the On Track tool.
Write - Modify existing On Track records.
Add - Add new On Track records.
Delete - Remove On Track records.
For more information about Tool Rights and how they function, see the Tool Rights article.
When first accessing the student's On Track records, select the School Year to narrow the list of records to just that year. Or, leave blank a to see the entire list of On Track records for the student. Documents can also be uploaded from this location.
Records can also be printed from this main view. Click Print to generate a PDF report of the student's ELO records.
