WISEdash for Districts

Three new Dynamic Student Cohorts were released in WISEdash for Districts on Tuesday, which went "live" on Wednesday, January 31st, 2024. These new dynamic cohorts can be used in any dashboard that supports Student Cohort filters. A 'cohort' is a group of students that you can manage and monitor over time. These Public Dynamic Student Cohorts are cohorts that are maintained centrally through a query so that no intervention is required. Such cohorts are “refreshed” every night and the set of students are completely updated upon the changing of the “Current Year” or “Prior Year” in July of each new school year. These new cohorts are as follows:

  • Immigrants - Current Year

  • Parent in Military - Current Year

  • Mobile Students - Prior Year
