Scheduled Task is a way to automatically generate reports, run utilities, or procedures based on a user defined schedule.
Any job in the print queue can be set to run on a specific schedule.

Create a Print Queue Job
To schedule a task, we must get the job listed in our Print Queue. Start by making a template for a report or utility.
![Page 23: Introduction Student News VTC Welcome to the April 2011 Student VTC. Our next VTC will be Thursday, May 19, 2011. If you have comments or suggestions for.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649e2e5503460f94b1e71e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
My Print QueueWhen the job is completed, be sure to view the report.
The scheduled task will ‘capture’ the template settings used to create this specific job. If you want to change the template settings, you will have to run the job again.

Scheduled Tasks Considerations
• Templates and Tasks Put ‘Owners’ Last Name or Initials in Description. Put Entity Number in Description and Date. Remember the Task is only as good as the Template,
if your Template changes – Delete and RESCHEDULE the Task.
• Scheduling Avoid scheduling during busy Skyward printing times. Scheduled Tasks will not process during Skyward Release times so avoid Saturday. Many report templates are school year specific. Review all of your scheduled tasks at the end of the school year. Consider deleting or inactivate them.

Scheduled Tasks Considerations
• Emailing Results Notify the end recipient – Before Scheduling. Don’t over use. Reports will be available in My Print Queue for at least two days.
• Export Location Must be a folder in the CITRIX environment.
REMEMBER – the tasks you schedule belong to you, manage them with care.

OPSIGraduation Requirements Year vs. Expected Year of Graduation Graduation Requirements Year: Students in Washington are held to
specific requirements in order to graduate with a diploma from Washington State.
As these requirements can, and do, change for different graduating classes, as students enter grade 9 for the first time they are assigned a Graduation Requirements Year. For example, students entering 9th grade in the 2011-12 school year will be assigned a graduation requirements year of 2015 (four years). This gives students a clear picture of what their requirements are to graduate from high school.
The Graduation Requirements Year is established the same for all students, and is not adjusted for any reason. If an error was made in reporting the graduation requirements year it is acceptable to correct the record.
In Skyward this is the Grad Req Base Yr

OPSIGraduation Requirements Year vs. Expected Year of Graduation Expected Year of Graduation. Students in Washington are assigned an Expected Year of
Graduation which is initially four years from the time they first enter grade 9. There are to the Expected Year of Graduation for that is beyond the standard four years.Special Education students may be given up to 7 years to graduate if their Individualized
Education Plan (IEP) determines the need for additional time. Special education students’ Expected Year of Graduation must have this done when they first enter grade 9 or by the time they are 16.
Limited English Proficient students may be given up to 7 years to graduate.Migrant students may be given up to 5 years to graduate.Students enrolling in a new school district after 9th grade can be given additional time to
graduate based on the new district’s determination of grade level. The placement of such students should be based upon district policy and should be applied consistently with enrolling students.
If an error was made in reporting the Expected Year of Graduation it is acceptable to correct the
record. It is not appropriate to re-assign an Expected Year of Graduation for students
actively enrolled in a school/district who have become credit deficient.
