If the system is unable to determine a single match based on any of the above the information provided, the matching process may proceed by attempting to match based on Math and ELA teachers the student has had.
A progress bar will appear on each page as the user progresses thru the claiming/matching process. 
Begin Matching Process
From the initial entry screen the user will be required to enter the fields marked with the red asterisk next to the label. If additional information about the student is known, it is recommended that be entered on the initial entry screen as well.
From January 1 thru June 30, Claiming for School Year will allow the user to select which school year the student is being claimed for. From July 1 thru December 31, the field will appear on the screen but it will be defaulted to the current school year.
If electing to select a Prior District Enrollment for matching, the School Year enrolled at that prior district is also required to be entered.
If known, the State Student Identification (SSID) will provide for quick matching.
Click the Search button to begin the matching process.
If data entry errors were made, the Clear button may be used to refresh the screen, clearing the input boxes.
Additional Information
If the system is unable to determine a single match based on the information entered on the initial screen, the user will be taken to a second prompting screen asking for additional details about the student. The information prompted for will depend upon the values entered on the initial entry screen.
The sample screen above reflects what the additional information screen will look like if the user entered only the required information on the initial entry screen. If the user enters the Middle Name/Initial on the initial screen, but the system was still unable to determine a single match, that field will not appear on the additional information screen.
The possible fields that may appear on the additional entry screen are
- Middle Name/Initial
- Prior District Enrollment and School Year attended
- State Student Identification (SSID)
Sounds Like / Nickname Search
If the system was unable to find any matches using the required fields from the initial entry screen, the user will be asked if they would like to continue attempting to match using a "Sounds Like" search. The system will attempt to find matching records using a sounds like and/or nickname search of the first name while still using the actual last name, birthdate and gender entered by the user.
