When an EC student withdraws in PowerSchool, will ECATS remove the student or do we have to do it manually?

When a student is withdrawn in PowerSchool, that same student will be withdrawn in ECATS with a PowerSchool withdraw code when the overnight file transfer takes place. You will see the PowerSchool exit in ECATS the following day. You will need to access that student in ECATS and give them the correct EC Exit Reason.

 

Will the ECATS system open and work on Chromebooks or Chrome browsers?

ECATS should work on any supported browser.

 

Will we be able to manually change school access for a user once they have been imported to ECATS?

Yes, there will be someone at each LEA who will be able to adjust the User Roles and school access for users in their LEA/School.

 

In the IEP > Services, please explain what is meant by “Block” and “Period” for amount of time. If students transfer from school to school, a block and period may be different lengths of time. Shouldn’t only minutes and hours be the option, since that is a universal amount of time that is understandable to all, including parents?

"Block" and "Period" of time have been removed as options.
