Proposed Infosnap Revisions 2016-17

----------------------

Page: Medical

Section: Immunizations

Scope: All (note that there is a VT version for Marion Cross, and a NH version for the other three schools, because of two different states and two different links, but I want the same change/delivery logic for both, please.)

Change type: Delivery logic and wording

Relevant IS field: p_ImmunizationAgree (NH) and p_MCImmunizationAgree (VT) (perhaps both should be renamed to ImmunizationStatus)

Relevant PS field: Currently n/a (we're currently not delivering anything here)

Current version: "I, the parent/guardian of, , will submit the up-to-date immunization records to the main office BEFORE the first day of school." and a forced choice of "Agree"

New version: Three choices, they must pick only one. Radio buttons if possible.

1. "I, the parent/guardian of, , AGREE THAT I WILL SUBMIT up-to-date immunization records to the main office, BEFORE the first day of school, which validate my child's compliance as per the state's requirements document referenced here" -> DELIVER LITERAL VALUE "will_submit" to PowerSchool field called "ImmunizationStatus" AND offer an option to "upload now."

FIXME distinguish between digital upload and paper submission so reword these...

2. "I, the parent/guardian of, , HAVE ALREADY​SUBMITTED up-to-date immunization records to the main office, which validate my child's compliance as per the state's requirements document referenced here" -> DELIVER LITERAL VALUE "already_submitted" to PowerSchool field called "ImmunizationStatus"

3. "I, the parent/guardian of, ​, AGREE TO PROVIDE a notarized hard copy of my immunization exemption form​ to the Health Office​BEFORE the first day of school" -> DELIVER LITERAL VALUE "exempt" to PowerSchool field called "ImmunizationStatus"​ and NO option to upload.

----------------------

Page: Medical

Section: Medication in School

Scope: Hanover High School only

Change type: Add a question/field

In the list of over-the-counter meds, add an option for "decongestant" and deliver to a PS field named decongestant, 1 or 0 like the others.

----------------------​

Page: Medical

Section: Parental Authorization

Scope: All

Change type: Cosmetic/wording

Relevant IS field: stu_ParentMedAuth

Relevant PS field: PermissionToTreat

Current version: In the interest of my child's health, I give the school permission to:

• Carry out emergency medical care in the event that the parent/guardian cannot be reached.

• Contact the child's physician to communicate information as needed, and to receive immunization records and emergency medical information.

New version: In the interest of my child's health, I hereby give permission for school personnel AND/OR any doctors/nurses/hospital/EMT staff to:

• Carry out emergency medical care in the event that the parent/guardian cannot be reached.

• Contact the child's physician to communicate information as needed, and to receive immunization records and emergency medical information.

----------------------​

Page: Medical

Section: Permissions/Authorizations

Scope: All

Change type: Addition

Heading: Authorization to Exchange Medical Information

Text:

If deemed necessary, do you grant permission for the school district to exchange medical/health information with your child's health provider(s) regarding the following general topics:

Please be informed that:

I/We:

I give my permission to have information about my child exchanged as indicated above.

I do NOT give my permission to have information about my child exchanged as indicated above.

Deliver 1 or 0 to PS field called “MedInfoExchangeAllow

(After this is implemented, I think we’ll want a form that nurses can download and print -- I have a sample I’d like to follow. We’ll discuss later. Marking this as a FIXME for my own future reference)

----------------------​

Page: Medical

Section: Medication in School

Scope: variable

Change type: scope-based visibility

The nurses want to make sure that this statement:

“The administration of the above listed medications will be documented and attempts will be made to reach and notify the parent/guardian that a medication has been given.”

ONLY appears for the elementary schools (Bernice Ray and Marion Cross)

----------------------​

Page: Medical

Section: Medication in School

Scope: All

Change type: Deletion

Remove the “cough drops” question and associated field.

----------------------​

Page: Medical

Section: Medication in School

Scope: All

Change type: Deletion

Remove the whole section (three questions and associated fields) about ointments/creams.

----------------------​

Page: Medical

Section: Permissions/Authorizations

Scope: All

Change type: Deletion

Remove the “epi-pen/inhaler authorization” question and its associated field altogether -- each school handles it too differently.

----------------------​

Page: Medical

Section: Medical Agreements

Scope: All, but only if earlier stu_MedMedication = Yes

Change type: Logic and Delivery

Relevant IS field: stu_OtcMedsAgree (SHOULD BE RENAMED to stu_SpecificMedsAgree)

Relevant PS field: MedsSpecificAgree

Wording: "I, the parent/guardian of , grant permission to the school nurse or designated staff to attend to my child as deemed appropriate for the medication/treatment as noted above."

New version: Deliver 1 to PowerSchool field "MedsSpecificAgree" for agree, 0 for not agree.

My evidence indicates that we simply overlooked this, probably because of the confusingly-named field.

----------------------

Page: Medical

Section: Medication in school

Scope: All

Change type: Delivery/tagging

If the parent answers "no" to any OTC meds in school, tag the record "NoOTCMeds" and make tag available in nurses' view since that's an unusual situation.

----------------------

Page: Medical

Section: Student's Health History

Scope: varies

Change type: Wording and Delivery

-For ALL schools, please replace the cerebral palsy question with “Physical or motor difficulties” and show the usual “please explain” if they answer yes.

- For ALL schools, please edit the question “Has the student had a serious accident, illness, injury, or surgery?” to read: ““Has the student had a serious accident, illness, injury, surgery, or hospitalization?”  If the parent answers yes, where it says “please explain,” make it say “Please explain AND include date(s)”

- For ALL schools, please add a question to the health history list for “Concussion”. (I realize that we already have “head or spinal injury”.) If the parent answers yes, where it says “please explain,” make it say “Please explain AND include date(s)”

- For either of Bernice Ray Elementary or Marion Cross Elementary ONLY, please add the following questions following the same format as the others (Yes/No radio buttons, and “please explain” text field):

- Pregnancy/birth anomalies, “please explain”

- Frequent complaints of discomfort, "please explain causes and treatments"

- Frequent/recurring ear infections, “please explain”

----------------------

Page: Medical

Section: Student's Health History

Scope: All

Change type: Delivery

Relevant IS fields:

stu_SpecProblems, stu_PhysicalActivity, stu_SeriousIllness, stu_FamilyChange, and all of the fields under "Does your child have a history of or problems with" list

Relevant PS fields: allergies, alert_medical, Medical_Considerations

This is probably the most complex/logic-intensive part of our InfoSnap implementation. Leave it for last. I’d like for us to review the current logic and make sure it follows this: https://docs.google.com/a/hanovernorwichschools.org/document/d/1DxohVxKwOWCRjh2-49ILt0hFNyPF18INhs2-WA5iH1o/edit?usp=sharing

----------------------

Page: Medical

Section: History/allergies

Scope: All

Change type: Delivery

If the parent answers “yes” to seasonal allergies but “no” to epi-pen, deliver nothing to alert_medical. Too many false positives on this one.

----------------------

Page: Medical

Section: n/a

Scope: All

Change Type: Delivery

Can we send a 1 to a PowerSchool field called “IS_UploadMed” if they upload anything on the medical page?

----------------------

Page: Medical

Section: insurance area

Scope: All

Change Type: Delivery

Where we ask for insurance provider name and policy number, please also add  “Insurance provider phone number” mapped to a field called stu_InsurancePhone which delivers to a PowerSchool field called insurance_phone

----------------------

Page: Medical

Section: n/a

Scope: All

Change Type: Deletion

Get rid of “Hospital Preference” question altogether -- my God, if there’s an emergency at school, we’re gonna take the kid wherever the hell we want.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

---------- END MEDICAL, BEGIN OTHER -------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Page: New Student

Section: Previous School Information

Scope: All

Change type: Delivery

Right now, we're not delivering this anywhere. If they answer yes, please deliver to a PS field called PreviousSchool

Page: Emergency

Section: all three

Change type: Wording

Make the intro paragraph say:

"Parents will be contacted FIRST! Please list LOCAL individuals, OTHER than the student's parent/guardian(s) who may be contacted in the event that the parent/guardian(s) cannot be reached. If the same contact has two numbers, please enter him or her twice. These people are also permitted to pick up your child from school in the event of an emergency where the primary guardians are unavailable."

----------------------

Page: Student

Section: (make new, at bottom)

Scope: All

Section: (make new, at bottom)

Scope: Hanover High School only

New yes/no dropdown question:

"Would you be willing to share contact information for your students who have graduated from Hanover High School? (If 'Yes,' you will be contacted later via email for details.") No delivery to PowerSchool; instead, tag in InfoSnap, something like "GradContactOK".

----------------------

Page: Athletics

Page: Additional Family

Section: Siblings

Scope: All

Change type: Wording and delivery

Current version: "Does the student have any siblings?" and answers are delivered to nowhere

New version: "Does the student have any siblings 18 years old and younger? If they are in school, please include school names + phone numbers."

And concatenate/deliver everything they write into a single PowerSchool field named "SiblingInfo"

----------------------

Page: Permissions page

Section: wherever

Scope: Marion Cross School only

Change type: Delivery and wording

Two checkboxes or yes/nos:

1. "Please include our family on MCS-PTO emails."

2. "Please include our family in the Marion Cross online school directory."

If they say yes to #2, then display a "click here to download the PTO form; please print and fill it out and return it to school." with PDF that I will send you. FIXME asked Joy to send it to me Feb 25

----------------------

Page: Final post-submit page

Section: (list of links)

Scope: varies

Change type: For each of Ray, RMS, and MCS, update link to point to updated version of Records Release form for each school (I have PDFs for you.) They tell me that this still needs to be a pen-and-ink operation because other schools aren’t going to accept our e-sig stuff.

For HHS, don’t show anything relevant. THEY apparently don’t need parent permission as per the Buckley Amendment. WhatEVER.

NOTE: Pretty much ALL of our parents skipped/ignored this whole page. Can we make it be the penultimate page whereby they have to tick a box that says “I have downloaded any/all of the forms I need from this page” before they can REALLY submit, or some other way to make them pay attention?

----------------------

Page: Landing page

Scope: All

Change type: Wording

You had mentioned on the phone that you might have some alternative wording that makes it clearer to parents what the first question is asking ("is your kid new or returning") -- I'd love to hear your suggestion.

----------------------

Page: Student

Scope: All

Change type: Wording and delivery

Anticipated School Start Date: and force a normal date format.

Deliver to a PS field called "AnticipatedEntryDate"

----------------------

Pages: 6th Grade World Language and Music, 7th Grade World Language and Music, 8th Grade World Language and Music,  

Section: World Language

Scope: Richmond Middle School only

Change type: Wording, scope

Make sure these only show for “NEW TO THE DISTRICT” kids.

Add another option to the dropdown, "My child will take a foreign language elsewhere (e.g. Hanover High)."

----------------------

Page: Family

Section: (main)

Scope: All

Change type: Delivery

The delivery data includes Contact_3 and Contact_4 data, and appears to have copied over whatever was in Contact_1's address fields; but I can't see on the IS preview form where there's even an option to enter info for Contact 3 or 4. I'm looking at: https://secure.infosnap.com/admin/preview/introduction.rails?solutionid=1453&mode=action&id=7600&entryid=0&additionalinformation=true

In any case, if they don't specify a contact_3 or contact_4, then the address fields should be blank in the delivery.

----------------------

Page: n/a

Can we just statically send today's date and time to a PS field called "IS_LastImport" whenever we do a delivery?

----------------------

Page: Student

Scope: All returning students

Change type: Prepop, wording, + delivery

I don’t know how to do this, if it’s even possible, because of how PS stores race and ethnicity, but the request is to show something like “here’s what we have on file for your child re: Race and Ethnicity: [Hispanic yes/no, plus any combo of checkboxes for the 5 races] Please contact the main office if this information is incorrect.”

----------------------

Page: New Student

Section: Language Survey

“Date first enrolled in a U.S. school”: mm/yyyy to field stu_FirstUSSchoolDate, deliver to PS field dateOfEntryIntoUSA (Pearson core field, will be migrated)

----------------------

Tag/filter/alert change:

set “custody” tag + email on ANY CHANGE to ANY "custody" field, AND send an email to [school]admin. E.g. Ray -- dushane FIXME may need to show this over the phone to explain what I mean.

----------------------

Page: Permissions

Section: Athletics

Scope: HHS only

Change type: Add question + field + deliver

“I give my permission for (name of child) to have a baseline concussion test administered at Hanover High School. I understand that my child may need to be tested more than once, depending upon the results of the test.  I understand there is no charge for the testing.

Hanover High School may release the ImPACT (Immediate Post-concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing) results to my child's primary care physician, neurologist, or other treating physician.

I understand that general information about the test data may be provided to my child's guidance counselor and teachers, for the purposes of providing temporary academic modifications, if necessary.”

Display a link to download an explanatory letter (will provide to you separately.)

Deliver 1 or 0 to PS field hhsconctestagree

----------------------

This is a Large question, probably for another year. Any possibility of automating delivery of attachments from IS to PS, now that PS supports attachments?
