There are numerous resources in the District Settings area that are accessible by your Pathways Administrators. Most of these items are “set it-and-forget it” type things, but some adjustments may need to be made over time.
Identify Local Dual Credit & Dual Enrollment Classes
Courses listed here are courses that have been imported from your SIS, and can be marked as Dual Credit or Dual Enrollment here.
Map Misaligned Course Codes
When courses are imported from the SIMS, they are compared to the State Department of Education Course Catalog and then aligned to the diploma requirements accordingly. When a student transfers in from another school, there could be a course that is not recognized by Pathways because the course code is not found in the system. This page will allow you to map the unknown course to an existing one.
Select Current Semester
In the Grade Manager and in a few of our Pathways Reports we display courses that are either “In Progress” or are “Scheduled” so the viewer knows if said courses are already in the student’s plan but are not completed. Users need to indicate which semester is the current semester and which semester is the scheduled (upcoming) semester. This will identify in the system which courses should be indicated with “In Progress” or “Scheduled”. Users can click here to check their current settings.
Manage Email Templates
Email templates can be used to send messages to students and can contain customized forms to be completed and submitted by the student (or by someone else for the student). To add to or edit your district’s templates, click here for detailed instructions.
Preview Email Forms
This page simply allows you to preview the list of forms that you have available to add to emails or email templates. If you would like a new form added to the list, send a request via the Support Ticket system.
Select Available Programs of Study
All of the available Programs of Study for your state are included in the Pathways system; however, your school may not offer all options. You can choose which Programs of Study are associated with your specific school by selecting/deselecting them from the list here.
Manage Diploma Types
The Manage Diploma Types page will allow the school to add to the minimum requirements needed for each diploma type offered in the state. The approved diploma types in the state are listed as “Stock” diplomas. However, each one can be edited (only added to but not minimized) and customized for a school’s specific needs. Additional diploma types can be created by the school as well. Click here for detailed instructions on how to make these changes.
Select Available Courses Offered
Just like with the selection of the available Programs of Study, you can select/deselect the individual courses that you offer at your school while still offering the Program of Study. You can review the courses from your list here.
Set Flag Definitions
Flags provide a way to group students across the district, and is a different method of grouping students than in caseloads. Flags are seen by all users, where caseloads are created by individual users and are only viewable by that user. Flag definitions can be decided upon by your team and can be set on this page.
