MiSiS Announcements
New District ID Format
Beginning 1/27/2017, users will notice that new students to the district will be assigned a district ID with a new format which does not contain the student’s birthdate or gender. The new district ID will continue to be ten (10) characters, but will have an X where the M or F used to be. Example: 200000X001. Only new students will be assigned IDs with the new format; students with the previous format will not change.
The following items have been fixed or updated in MiSiS:
Enrollment
- Schools are now able to adjust the student’s Entry Date to the first date of attendance in the school year.

When the entry date is changed, the section start date will be automatically adjusted to the new Entry Date.

For information on which filters have been added and how to use them, see the Canned Filters Job Aid in the job aids section on the MiSiS website (https://www.lausd.org/misisjobaids) and the support section on the MiSiS Ad Hoc Reporting and Dashboards website (https://www.lausd.org/Page/11213).
