Note:  Users see navigation options based on their assigned access permissions and user level.

Add New Case--allows users with the appropriate access rights to navigate to the SIS_Db level in order to manage demographics provided by a local student information system. In addition, users with permission to Create a Child can begin the process here.

Search for a Case-- allows user to search for a student brought to case level or IEP level.

Case Matrix

After selecting the Case Matrix link at the top of the page, a list of students will appear. Depending on the users level of access the user will see a varying number of students. For a teacher, this will be a list of students assigned to their caseload. For a school based administrator this will be a list of every student in their school. Select a Name to access the student's case from the Case Matrix.

Tip:  If the list of students is greater than 50, the user will enter the tool in the Look Up feature. The Look Up feature allows the user to locate a student’s case quickly without scrolling through the extensive list of names in the Case Matrix.

IEP

The IEP button in the Admin Module will take the user to the student's IEP and meeting history as well as the ability to manage the team and edit student demographics.

Forms

Using the Forms button takes the user to a list of forms available as approved by the user's school system.  The list can be edited by the County Level/Data Manager to show or hide forms determined for use by the local school system.

Reports

The Reports button takes the user to a list of reports available to assist with monitoring and reporting of student IEP data.

Add New Case

Add New Case tab is available on the Look Up screen and is used when a new student is to be added to the MD Online IEP system for the first time.  For more information on the use of this screen, see Case Level (IEP) Module, Add Cases.
