When a student experiences a change that impacts their educational funding status such as a change in resident district, homeless status, or special education status, the MDE requires an update to the student's MARSS record. In jmc Office, use the "Drop Student" and "Re-enter Student" procedures to correctly reflect these MARSS status changes, ensuring precise data submission for state reporting.

To close a student's MARSS enrollment status, head to Attendance > Student > Drop Student.

Step One: Enter the student's name in the "Find" field to select the student whose MARSS status has changed.

Step Two: Click a date from the "Day" box to select the last date of the student's previous MARSS status.

Step Three: Select the appropriate reason from the "Drop/Status End Code" drop-down list to reflect the closing of a status record.

Step Four: Click the "Drop" button to close the previous MARSS status record.

To open a new MARSS status record, navigate to Attendance > Student > Re-enter Student.

Step One: Enter the student's name in the "Find" field to select the student whose MARSS status has changed.

Step Two: Click a date from the "Day" box to select the date the new status is effective.

Step Three: Enter the appropriate information for the status change in the drop-down lists and fields provided to ensure correct enrollment data for state reporting.

Step Four: Click the "Re-enter" button to open the new MARSS status record.

Helpful Tip: Review the student's MARSS status changes by clicking the MARSS tab on the "View Student Data" page.
