MiSiS Announcements
Next Year Enrollment
- Schools may now enter Year End Flags for students who will be returning 12th graders next year. The Year-End Flag Screen will be used for Completers or Certificate of Completion students returning to school next school year, as well as students who did not complete requirements and will be returning next year to continue to work towards completion of the requirements. Refer to REF-6501.3 2016-17 Year-End Coding for All 12th Grade Students for more information. During the Next Year Enrollment processing, 2017-18 enrollments will be created for 12th grade students with Year End Flags in the same school.
- The Address Confirmation Letter is now available. This report may be sent to families to confirm a student’s address for the next year school; for example, matriculating students living in an Option Area.

Decommissioning MiSiS Explorer
MiSiS Explorer will be retired by the end of the 2017 calendar year (December 31st, 2017). MiSiS Ad Hoc Reporting provides all capabilities available in MiSiS Explorer.
