Microsoft Task Scheduler

You should consider re-enabling scheduled jobs in Microsoft Task Scheduler such as enrollment systems updates, nightly jobs, etc. prior to attempting the Beginning Start of Year process. Please note, if your enrollment system inactivates all students at the End of Year, you may need to coordinate re-enabling this job with the enrollment system department. It should first be confirmed the enrollment system department has readied data for the upcoming school year and has generated a new update file for food administration prior to re-enabling any jobs.

Run Student Information System Import File
