Student at a computerBeginning in January 2011, NJ SMART added the ability to upload Optional Submissions. Optional Submissions empower LEAs to conduct advanced analytics by uploading additional local data elements that can be accessed through District Reports. Optional Submissions include: Discipline, Program Enrollment, and Credits Earned.  The Optional Submission Student Data Handbook and its three separate file templates are now available in the Documents for Downloads page.  Further information regarding this new submission set can be found in the Optional Submission page.

As New Jersey continues to expand and enhance its student data warehouse, standard data collection processes and practices must also evolve to provide the most efficient and effective collection and reporting model to the end user.  To meet the demands of these expanding expectations, NJ SMART has developed an advanced collection and reporting model for the 2010-2011 school year.  As a result, LEAs reporting to NJ SMART will now be able to:

  1. Use SID Management processes at all times, even during the official State, Special Education, CTE, and Pre-ID Submissions.
  2. Update and report off data more frequently than the October 15th and June 30th snapshot dates.
  3. View and download state assessment record history for incoming students at the beginning of the school year and for new students that enter any time during the current school year.   
  4. Upload optional data elements (that are not required for state reporting) that can be integrated and accessed through the District Reports for further analysis.

A full overview of updates and enhancements to NJ SMART can be found in the NJ DOE memo, “Aug. 9, 2010, memo: NJ SMART Developments”, available in the Documents for Downloads page.  For detailed information and new features of each specific NJ SMART Submission, including the Pre-ID Submission that was introduced for the 2010-2011 school year, please navigate to the specific submissions page.

Questions about NJ SMART can be directed to the  NJ SMART Help Desk by calling (800) 254-0295 or e-mailing NJSMART@pcgus.com.
