Kindergarten Exclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thursday, November 16, 2023<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am attaching the wonderful video created by Nurse Molly (it’s at the bottom of this email) that walks you thru how to run the <\/em>HLT 414 report<\/em><\/strong> to determine which students are not up to date.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

She also explains the <\/em>HLT 217 report<\/em><\/strong>. This report is optional and used only if you would like to send letters out to parents or students who are not up to date instead of calling or messaging them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Run the HLT 414 report.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check the box for kindergarten students<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assessment date – 11\/16\/23<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cutoff date – 12\/31\/23<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exclusion date – 11\/16\/23<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Click Insufficient<\/u>, Incomplete<\/u> and No Record<\/u> when running report<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Print a copy of your report so you can use it to make notes on it such as when phone calls were made, mail sent and when students were updated.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

INCOMPLETE<\/u> Students<\/u>: Means they are not up to date. Check Alertiis for any new immunizations that you can update. Check that the CSI signature box has been checked. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

INSUFFICIENT<\/u> Students<\/u>: Always is a “data input error”. The dates are in the wrong order, or the student’s birth date is entered incorrectly.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are a new secretary or new nurse with the district, please sign up for <\/em>Alertiis<\/em><\/strong> so that you can check student immunization records from the state. Use the link below and call the Alertiis Help Desk to be added as a user.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
