Library Database Cleanup

This class will focus on patron maintenance issues such as expired patrons with transactions and students who have moved expired.  Cataloging clean up will be covered as well inclusing titles with no copies, no price, fixing call numbers, item statuses, material types, using last checkout date for possible removal of items, catching books not genrefied, and much more!

Library Database Cleanup Open Lab

This is an open lab, that follows the Library Database Cleanup training, to allow participants the opportunity to run reports and and analyze their collection for cleanup.

Library Inventory Process

This workshop reviews the necessary steps to plan, start, and finish an electronic inventory using the library automation system.  The inventory process is reports-driven, so some experience with reports is recommended before taking this course.  We will also discuss using MobileStaff to complete an inventory  (knowledge of MobileStaff is encouraged before this training, if interested in completing an Inventory using MobileStaff).

Library User Group Meeting

The purpose of the library user group is to form collaborative relationships and share expertise relative to library and information services among Trumbull and Ashtabula County library/media professionals.  Each meeting offers access to new library-related resources and information.  Specific agendas are tailored to each unique meeting.  You can view previous meetings here.

Library Year End Reporting

This workshop focuses on library circulation and cataloging statistic reports (such as Value of Collection report, Age of Collection report, New Titles report, Donated items – funding source report, Monthly Circulation Statistics report, Circulation Statistics by Grade report, Items with Highest Circulation in School Year report, and other selected reports).

Mass Assigning Course Requests for Next Year Students

These sessions will demonstrate how to mass load course requests onto students in SIS for the purpose of next year scheduling. Both of the following will be explained in detail: 1. Entering course requests in mass, by grade level, and 2. Entering course requests in mass onto students in NEXT school year by creating ad hoc memberships in the current year, and then mass assigning specific course requests onto the same groups of students, in next school year:

For buildings that utilize the Public Module and allow their students to select any course requests ‘online:’ If need be, there will be a brief section of this training that will discuss the slight differences in how ‘publically-viewable courses’ need to be constructed in order for students to see them online and for students to be able to request them online.

There are two, in-person sessions of this specific training available, and each will conclude no later than 11:30 a.m. on their scheduled dates. If attendees would like further assistance with mass assigning course requests, they should register for one of the scheduled 'Scheduling Open Labs,' which are available on multiple dates throughout February, March, April, May and June.

 

Elementary Scheduling

These sessions will discuss the process of bulk scheduling elementary students, beginning with bulk adding students into homerooms, updating course sections with teacher and room changes, updating and verifying course groups, and bulk assigning students into appropriate grade level course group sections. We will also review how to individually add homerooms onto students and how to individually schedule a block of courses onto single students, as well as how to generate helpful reports to verify class lists and homeroom lists. Please bring any Master Schedule changes, including teacher names and room numbers, with you, as well as have access to homeroom lists that are electronic and preferably in an Excel format with student names AND student ID numbers.

 

K-12 Pre-scheduling for next school year

These sessions will discuss every part of the pre-scheduling process for ALL grade levels and all buildings. Topics discussed will include mention of what items in StudentInformation have possibly been copied into your building’s 2024-25 school year already, and how and when NEOMIN will copy your students into the next school year. The sessions will also provide a complete overview of how courses should be created (elementary, secondary and CCP courses) and how they should be coded, as well as demonstrate an overview of how course sections (the Master Schedule) should be created and/or updated. We will review how to generate helpful reports that will aid in course and section verification, as well as discuss how to create and utilize course groups (blocks) in the scheduling process, and how to maintain and update homerooms, in StudentInformation. These sessions will also briefly discuss how to transfer new students enrolled in the current year, from current year to next school year, individually.

Secondary Batch Scheduling for next school year

These sessions will not only provide an overview of how the batch scheduler works and how to best utilize it, but we will also discuss various, important ‘next steps’ in the scheduling process, specifically for those buildings that have already added general course requests onto all of their students.

We will demonstrate how to best work from a student’s request screen and ‘hand schedule’ special circumstance students into exact course sections, how to generate request verification reports, as well as what exactly to do before, during, and after the batch scheduler is generated.

There are two, in-person sessions and one ZOOM session of this specific training available, and each will conclude at their stated end times. If attendees would like further assistance with utilizing the Batch Scheduler, they should register for one of the scheduled 'Scheduling Open Labs,' which are available on multiple dates throughout February, March, April, May and June.

Student Services User Group Meeting
Basic Excel for Student/EMIS

An abundant number of reports provided by ODE as well as StudentInformation Ad Hoc/Analytics Hub reports can be viewed in an Excel format.  Therefore, in order to assist users with reviewing and managing Excel report information, NEOMIN is offering a basic Excel class.  Below is a list of topics that will covered in this training.

Opening reports in Excel, parts of the screen, wrapping text in the header row, freezing top row, expanding all columns, sorting, filtering, renaming sheets in a workbook, adding sheets in a workbook, shortcut keys, and creating simple formulas.

End-of-Year State Reporting

These sessions will cover End-of-Year state reporting.  These sessions are open to all personnel who will be required to enter data for Student reporting including Building Secretaries, EMIS Coordinators, counselors, etc... 

Grad Credit Progress Verification

Ohio law outlines the course requirements all students must complete to earn a diploma.  Ohio students must earn a minimum of 20 course units in specified subject areas.  During this training, NEOMIN will work with districts to review the Core Summary records currently being reported to ODE for students to assist with accurate data reporting.  ODEW is reviewing this data to monitor a student’s progress towards graduation.

Graduation EMIS Reporting for the Class of 2025

This class will cover a very generic summary of Graduation Requirements but will focus on coding data in SIS so that ODE gets all of the correct information they need to show the student as a graduate.  Topics will include what is required to show students meeting Course Requirements, Demonstrating Competency or Alternative Competency Measures, and Demonstrating Readiness.

Intermediate Excel for Student/EMIS

To build upon what is covered in the Basic Excel class, NEOMIN is offering an Intermediate Excel class.  It is recommended that you attend a Basic Excel class before attending the Intermediate Excel, unless you are already familiar with all the topics covered in the Basic Excel class. 

 Further instruction with examples will be given on concatenate, conditional formatting, and filtering on Excel data and breaking the data down into multiple sheets. 

 Instruction will also be given on the Vlookup function.  The Vlookup function is a function that requires a lot of practice.  Therefore, we plan to provide instruction on when and how to create a formula using the Vlookup function and then go through several examples using this function.  This part of the training is going to be interactive.  Time will be allotted during the training for all participants to practice.  Instruction and practice will also be given on the If function.

SCHEDULING - OPEN LAB

These sessions are open labs where building personnel can come in-person to NEOMIN, and work towards completing their building 2025-2026 school year student scheduling, with or without NEOMIN's assistance.

Prior registration is mandatory, and please feel free to email sharon.texter@neomin.org before the day of the Scheduling Open Lab you are registered for, with any questions or requesting specific preparation assistance ahead of time.

Intermediate Excel Part Two for Student/EMIS Services

The class is a continuation of Intermediate Excel. NEOMIN encourages all persons registering for this class to have taken the Intermediate Excel class first. We will be reviewing the Vlookup function, creating Pivot Tables, calculating Subtotals, using Autofill to add column values, and utilizing the Text to Columns tool.
