It is time again for another GoalView update.  There are a number of new features that GoalView has added to their site as well as some procedure reminders.  So, read on for the latest news.

       PROCEDURE UPDATES AND REMINDERS

o        If you add students to the “Referred: Students” folder on Goalview, be sure to follow all the necessary steps to have their name removed after they qualify or don’t qualify.  If you fill out the forms on GoalView correctly, it will happen automatically.  Refer to page 5 of the GoalView manual for instructions.  This is an excellent tool for all teachers to use at your school.  Be sure to communicate with your team where the student is located in GoalView.

o        Remember to add your name as case manager any time a new student is placed on your file list.  If you haven’t already, please add your name as case manager for all students on your list.  Instructions are on page 7 of the Goalview Manual.  If you don’t, parents don’t know who is sending them the progress report.

o        File Holders MUST contact Stephanie Murdock to get a copy of a Goalview IEP from another district.  Fill out the attached form and send it in an email to Stephanie requesting the file.  It will also be located on the Granite School District Special Education GoalView website.  Go to www.graniteschools.org/c4/c14/goalview/default.aspx to locate the form, or use the one attached to this newsletter.

o        If you are missing or need to change a parent/guardian name on your forms, look on page 29 of the Goalview manual for instructions on how to do this.  You cannot change or add parent data on the student data screen that automatically comes up now.

o        If you would like help using Goalview, Stephanie Murdock will come to your school.  Please contact her at 646-4650 or sgmurdock@graniteschools.org to arrange an appointment.

       CHANGES TO THE GOALVIEW SITE

o        On Section 5 of the IEP, the start and end dates are now editable.  They will automatically fill in with the IEP Date and IEP Due Date from Section 1 of the IEP.  If you enter those dates incorrectly, you will see an error on the dates in Section 5.  You can change the dates as necessary on Section 5 or not at all.

o        Can’t find a General Ed teacher on the drop down list?  There is now an option to choose “Other” from the list of staff members from your school.  This will eliminate the need to send in staff change requests to Stephanie or Janet.  If a staff member is not listed, simply choose “Other” at the top of the list and hand write their name on the final copy of the IEP.

o        If you find Duplicate Student Names, contact Stephanie Murdock immediately.  The district has a process to go through to delete the duplicate and if you enter your information into GoalView it will be erased if you enter it under the wrong name.
