2017 Senior “Mock Ranking”



Belinda Smith, Ann Sempe with the help of Rodney White and Rich Crishock,

began setting up the 2017 Mock Ranking database for High School Registrars.

This process requires multiple steps to insure the database is ready for the

Registrars to calculate GPA and Rank for graduation purposes.

Schedules for Next Year 2018



Donna Vanhooser and Belinda Smith, shown here in deep conversation, discuss

how to make schedules in Cognos Reporting run faster and smoothly for the

coming year. Donna is making modifications to Cognos programs– while

Belinda communicates with the end users for suggestion on how to make it

easier for them.

Donna Vanhooser Belinda Smith


Donna Vanhooser and Belinda Smith have been talking about how many

choices there are to choose from. Their goal is to make it easier for counselors

by putting all of these reports into one report with prompts.

Donna has made so many changes already and she is just getting started!

2018 Master Schedules



Belinda Smith (not pictured) and Rodney White held a training session for new

schedulers to talk about master schedule. With the new documentation, this process

will be become easier because the information will be at their fingertips.

What’s new?

• Documentation is in a pdf format making it easier to search for a subject or report

• Located on a link in eSchoolPLUS for easy access

• STEP by STEP instructions on procedures

New Safer Equipment



Richard Hoffman

Thank you Richard Hoffman.

Richard assembled a new dolly /

hand truck that was acquires to

replace an aged and failing dolly

used by the ISA team.

Though this task seems miniscule

and petty, Richards efforts

increase productivity as we are

able to move more report card

paper at one time than before.

It also increase our security as the

old dolly was failing and unstable

John Crumbley, Director of Information Services and Applications

Application Access



When an unexpected disruption in

service cut off access to key

CFISD apps, Oscar Villar, Eric

May and John Crumbley met to

discuss to discuss alternatives

access avenues that would restore

access to eSchoolPLUS and

Teacher Access Center (TAC).

It was critical to provide access to

these applications as quickly as

possible. Working with other key

people in the technology

department, temporary access

was provided. The initial problem

was resolved within 36 hours.

Wonderful Job!!!

Norma Blenderman and Patricia

Maldonado are working on the

response to the federal Civil Rights

Data Collection (CRDC) audit.

Once the data is collected, it is

uploaded to the federal system for

analysis. Norma completed the

initial upload on Thursday, April

21.2017. This is the first major

milestone in properly reporting all

required data.

Using OnDataSuite (ODS) makes

CRDC reporting EASY!

It has been a busy week for the PEIMS team!

We have been focusing on registrar training, elementary report cards, CRDC reporting, and summer PEIMS. It is a joy to work with people who are good team players and are selfless in their dedication to the job!

I spent this week at the TSUN conference networking with other PEIMS users. We learned about the new reporting requirements for TSDS PEIMS.

My thoughts this week were focused on making

the job of high school registrars easier. This was

done by moving the mock rank graduation line up

process from the “live” database to a test

database. This change makes it possible for

registrars to process GPA calculations and

graduation and not make changes within the live

environment. Because the process was moved to

the test database, registrars can continue to

process transcripts and take as much time as they

need to update the graduation line-up.

This week at the DLT Dr. Mark Henry

discussed the promotion of public schools.

It made me reflect on how amazing our

district staff and students are. I can’t

imagine what this country would look like if

we did not have this level of public

education and leaders. I am so grateful to

be apart of the best district in the state of

Texas.
