Student Information System Database (sis_db)

Students new to the MD Online IEP must be added at the case level before an IEP can be developed.  Most of the local school systems using the MD Online IEP provide a nightly upload of their student demographic data, also known as the sis_db.  Students who need to be added but are not included in a nightly file upload, must be added manually through Create Child. For more information regarding Create Child, click here.

Add New Case

Note:  Add New Case is only available to County Level/Data Managers and School Based Administrators.

Add New Case is the same as Cases tab in IEP module and is detailed in Starting New or Locating Archived IEP in the IEP Development section of this guide.

Add New Case is used when entering a student into the MD Online IEP system for the first time or when creating a new case for a student not currently in the student database. 

1.  Click the Add New Case tab.

2.  Type the criteria for the student and then click on the student's name.  This will bring up the SIS Record with student demographics from the Student Information System Database (sis_db). 

3.  Click ADD CASE to the right of the demographics box to bring the child's record to Case Level and ready for IEP development.

Tip: In order to Create Child or Add a Case, you must first search for the student.
