LocalIdentificationNumber


Demographics.Required

Student IDs can only be changed on the Admin.Students.Change Student ID screen

2StateIdentificationNumber

Demographics.Required

Field is mandatory for all students, including Non-Public students. Leave this field blank for students that have not been issued a SID. When submitted, a new unique SID will be generated and issued for this student.

7Gender

Demographics.Required

The student’s identified gender.


There is now a Gender code of 'X - Non-Binary/Undesignated' in NJSmart. You do not need to add a matching 'X' to your gender codes in Genesis.


The way we will handle the 'X' code is any student who has a Gender Code not equal to 'M' or 'F' will be reported to NJSmart as an 'X'. So, for example, if you have added a 'P - Pangender' to your system, we will output any students coded as such as an 'X.'


If needed for your district, you may add additional codes to the "GENDER_PREFERENCE" table in Setup>Codes and the logic above will apply as you extract SID.

This will NOT be used if the student has this field overridden on their NJ Smart tab. 

Note: This total does NOT need to equal NumberOfDaysPresent + NumberOfDaysAbsent. - DaysOpen is a completely separate NJ Smart field.


From the SID Handbook -
The number of days the program of instruction was in session for the entire year, this is the number of days during the annual reporting period from July 1 through June 30.
School day in session is a day on which the school is open, and students are under the guidance and direction of a teacher(s); and the day must be 4 hours or more to be considered a full day (or at least 2.5 hours for kindergarten). The number of days does NOT include summer school.

How CDS Receiving and Attending is Set

County/District/School Code Receiving

Values will be determined using the following process:

  • Genesis will first check to see if a CDS receiving code override exists on a students NJSmart tab.  If it exists, Genesis will ALWAYS use these codes forgoing the following logic.
  • Genesis will check the CDS Code on the students current Genesis School (The current school is the school that is on the attendance record as of Snapshot date). The CDS code for a school can be found in SETUP>Schools>Modify School.
  • If the Genesis School does not have a CDS code (for example: Out Of District School), and is NOT a Charter, then Genesis will check to see if student has an active IEP with a OOD CDS filled in.
  • If not, Genesis will then use the CDS code on the Student's Genesis Home School.

Exceptions:

  • Students who have a Resident District different from that of your Master District in Genesis and who are Special Ed with an Active IEP set to OOD will have their Receiving CDS set to that students Home School as set on the students Demographics page UNLESS Master District district type is set to type REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT.
  • Non Vocational Shared Time Students.  See NJSmartFAQ
  • Student sitting in a Genesis setup Non-public school will have their Receiving School set to the Student's Home School (on demographics screen)
  • If a student is Tuition Sent to a School marked as a Preschool Provider (in Setup>State Schools) then Receiving School will be set to the Preschool Provider.
  • Resident District Students who live in a group home (or foster) who are Tuition Sent to an OOD will have the Receiving CDS set to the Tuition Sent school's CDS.

  • If student still has no Receiving School or a Receiving School = 000 after above logic applied will use the CDS of the Home School of student.

County/District/School Code Attending

The school the student is attending is determined using the following process:

  • Examine the attendance record as of the snapshot date 
    • If the student is in a Genesis School with a valid CDS code (Setup>Schools) - That is the attending school
    • If the student has an IEP as of the snapshot date; and the IEP has a CDS (Sent OOD) - That becomes the attending school
    • If the student has a tuition tracking record as of the snapshots date; and the record has a CDS - That becomes the attending school
    • If a student is attending an In-County Vocational school full time, the vocational school will be set as the attending school.
    • If a Regional District student's In-District School has a State School Code of 000 assigned in Genesis, students Home School CDS is used instead.

If student has Shared Time Tracking record marked as SENT with the CDS codes filled in, the values from the Shared Time Records CDS will automatically be used for Attending.  Unless student is Shared Time to a non-vocational school.

If students are sitting in a Preschool Referral (Pre-Eval) school, they  will have the following fields blanked on on the SID file: Grade Level, PTC, Lunch Status and Special Ed Classification.

  • This "Is Preschool Referral/Pre-Evaluation School" field is found via Setup>Schools>Modify School:

How is NJSmart Attendance calculated in Genesis?

Attendance can be calculated from one of two places.  It is either totaled from the Daily Attendance your district records for a student -OR- it is read from a manually input NJSmart Attendance total.  NJSmart Attendance totals are entered into Genesis from the NJ > NJ Smart > NJSMART Attendance tab, which is a great screen to use for your Out Of District students. Here, you may enter than manually from the Attendance sub tab, or import them from an excel spreadsheet on the Import/Export sub tab.  If a Student has a manually entered NJSmartAttendance record, it will appear on that student's Attendance > Calendar tab directly above the existing Totals Table on the right side of the screen.


Q: NJ Smart informed us that we need to code a student as ZZ/0000/000. How do we add that?

If it's missing from the CDS dropdowns, you add it in via Setup>State Schools>Districts and Setup>State Schools>Schools.
