  3. A Word on Student Data Current year SISdata made available by DOE (Only Publics) Current year STS data made available by DOE (Publics & Non-Publics) SIS Data STS Data LDOE (Option 2) (Option 1) Goal: Load the broadest amount of current demographic, enrollment and academic performance data into LouisianaConnect at the earliest possible date. What’s Next: ACT Data, Standardized Test Scores from DOE (EOC, LEAP, etc.), ???

  4. Important Next Steps • Automated Account Activation • Counselors are signing up now for access to the portal • Student & Parent Account Activation • LOSFA will send a follow-up email indicating that student & parent account activation is available beginning in the next few weeks • The web portal needs student data to be tested and loaded for student/parent account activation to commence • LDOE has finalized an agreement to share data with the web portal • Non-Public School Student & Parent Account Activation • If school does not submit “SIS” data, enrollment data will not be current until LDOE February “STS” data harvest • LOSFA to circulate workaround for schools that would like to refresh enrollment data by extracting directly from their own student information system and loading directly into LouisianaConnect
