Updates You Won’t Want to Miss

While we typically reserve most enhancements for the summer months, this year’s progress has inspired us to keep the momentum going. We’re excited to share several new enhancements that launched over the past few weeks.

 

Microsoft Single Sign On - You now have additional options for SSO, with the inclusion of Microsoft!

 

WISEdata Comparison Report - Experience the upgraded V4 report, now exportable to a spreadsheet, with direct hyperlinks to student pages for faster, more accurate corrections. See our updated help center article.

 

RCC and Shortened Day on the DC - Staff completing the Data Collection form can now effortlessly capture RCC and Shortened Day details directly within the Data Collection form.  Simply use the Update Student Detail View button to ensure that data is included in the student's SEPA record.

 

Improved Login Process – Enjoy a smoother sign-in experience, thanks to streamlined requirements and fewer screens. 

 

User Inactivation Safeguard – Avoid accidental changes: when inactivating a user from the main Users page, a confirmation pop-up now ensures each action is intentional.

 

We’re committed to listening to our users and making their experience better and more intuitive.  Remember to share your ideas and watch the progress of those ideas in the Bug and Enhancement Portal.

WISE Data

3rd Friday Count and October 1st

When does this all come together?

Think of the DPI December Snapshot as a due date for a big group project. Many things that are handed in on that day, and different systems are the source for different items. Some of the items that your district will hand in are from the 2025-2026 school year, while some are from the 2024-2025 school year.

 

The main special ed items that are handed in are the following:

  1. 3rd Friday Count: How many students attended school on the 3rd Friday of the school year in the 2025-2026 school year?
  2. October 1 Count: How many students with IEPs or Services Plans are enrolled in your district as of October 1st, 2025?  
  3. Timely Initial Evaluations: How many Timely Initial Evaluations did your district conduct in the 2024-2025 school year?

The great news is that districts have until December 9th at 9:00 to gather this information!
