Subject: eIEP Update

An update was performed to the MICIS/eIEP system last night to correct some issues with the Progress
Reports.  Below are some things to remember when trying to generate a progress report:

•  All of the students Goals & Objectives must have progress reported on each and every one.
•  The system will only produce a progress report for the latest Merged eIEP.
•  The “From” date on the Goal & Objectives Progress Report screen must be the IEP date 
   or close to it.  The “From” date has to be on or before the first date that progress was reported.

Issues we are still working on fixing:

• The slowness of the Goal & Objectives Progress Report screen 
• The order in which information is displayed on the report
• Being able to get Historical Progress Reports
• Being able to generate a progress report for just a specific period of time.
• Developing a quicker method to enter progress and produce the report.

Please  pass this message along to your staff so they are aware of the recent fixes and the rules for
generating a progress report.

Regards,
