The October 1 Report will appear under the “Final Report” button and will typically include all students at your site or district. The “Final Report” is prepopulated entirely from your local SIS.

To complete the report, follow these steps.
-
Determine the students that will be on this report from your local SIS. Remember that students with the basis of admission or entry type other codes below will be excluded from this report, all other students enrolled on or before October 1 should appear on this report. Students excluded due to their basis of admission will appear in “Find Missing Students”.

- Verify that each reportable student that should appear in this report is in the “Final Report” tab list of students. If any students are missing, check the Find Missing Students section of the report to see why they have been excluded and correct any data issues in your local SIS.
-
After verifying that all students appear in the “Final Report”, next verify that the student’s demographics (Grade, Ethnicity, Race, Gender, Free Reduced, etc.) are accurate.
- There are reports in Reporting Tools that may help assist in verifying certain counts such as Gifted and Talented, and overall enrollment counts by grade level.
- After verifying that all information is correct for a site, that site principal will confirm the report. Once all site(s) within your district is confirmed, the superintendent can certify. By certifying the October 1 Report the superintendent is verifying that all information for their district is accurate. This information may be used for state and federal reporting. If a change needs to be made to a confirmed site, the district superintendent can release it. If a change needs to be made to a certified district the superintendent will need to call or email the Data & Information Systems office.

Confirming, Releasing, and Certifying the Report
After verifying that all information displayed is correct for a site, that site principal will confirm the report by pressing the "Confirm" button. Once a site is marked as confirmed by the principal, the data will no longer update. It will remain exactly as it was upon confirmation. If data corrections are necessary after a site was confirmed, the district superintendent will press the “release” button in the "Final Report" tab. If released, the report will return to what was in the Wave as of the last refresh date/time.

Once all site(s) within the district is confirmed, the superintendent can press the “certify” button visible via the site selector screen. If no sites are in the confirmed status, the “certify” button will be disabled. By certifying the October 1 Report the superintendent is verifying that all information for their district is accurate. This information will be used for state and federal reporting.

When the district superintendent presses "certify" a pop-up will appear on the screen and will show overall counts of students in a few subject areas, for example, the October 1 Enrollment count, the number of students that are Gifted and Talented, etc. If the superintendent is okay with these numbers, then press the "Ok" button in the pop-up. By clicking "Ok" the October 1 Report the superintendent is verifying and certifying that all information for their district is accurate. This information will be used for state and federal reporting.

If there is a district that has confirmed or certified a student as being enrolled but that same student is later reported on another district's report, the next district that tries to confirm or certify their report a pop-up will appear and will show all Student Testing Numbers (STN) in the district that have already been claimed by another district.
These situations may not result in an ownership conflict as usual.
For example, District A certifies their report on October 1 with a student but actually that student was enrolled on October 1 at District B. The morning of October 1, District A properly exits the student on September 30 since that was the student's last day of enrollment at District A. District A forget to decertify and unconfirm their report. On the afternoon of October 1, District B enrolls Student A on October 1, and on October 3 tries to certify their report. District B will get the pop-up below because on the report there is an ownership conflict.
October 1 is the only day in a school year where entry/exit day overlaps cannot exist.
