  • If your District participates in the summer feeding program, you may wish to wait until that session has been completed before running your End-of-Year process. If you run End of Year before you are finished with Summer Feeding, you will need to re-select the summer Summer Feeding setting checkbox in Newton.

  • The End of Year in DataCenter is recommended before running End of Year in Newton. The Enable End-of-Year Process checkbox in the last year’s DataCenter database (found under Admin → District Setup) must be selected to run the End of Year in Newton.
    (info) This should already be enabled in last year's DataCenter database if you have completed End of Year in DataCenter.

  • It is normal to see critical alerts once the End of Year process has been completed. This occurs because the system's Scheduled Jobs have not yet been completed for the new database.  The critical alerts will clear once the scheduled jobs have been completed (typically at midnight), or you may choose to manually run Scheduled Jobs after you have completed the end-of-year processes.
