Early Care Education Go NAPSACC Service FAQs
- Q: How long will I have access to Go NAPSACC?
A: Please access and print/download any reports from Go NAPSACC by July 30, 2022. The information stored within Go NAPSACC will be frozen after this date and will be inaccessible to childcare providers, TA consultants, community partners, and DSHS.
- Q: Is this lapse in Go NAPSACC access permanent or temporary?
A: At this time, the lapse in service is only temporary. Our team is diligently working to either reinstate access or provide another option for similar ECE topic area assessments. We will provide updates as they become available.
- Q: What components of Texas Healthy Building Blocks are affected by the lapse in Go NAPSACC service?
A: The lapse in Go NAPSACC access only affects program features on the Go NAPSACC platform. The other project components of Texas Healthy Building Blocks should continue to operate as normal. Consider using the printed versions of your selected goals and action steps exported from Go NAPSACC to move your work forward.
- Q: If I’m waiting for a Go NAPSACC access code, who should I contact?
A: The distribution of Go NAPSACC access codes will be on hold during the lapse in Go NAPSACC service. If you have any questions about what this means for your center, please reach out to your TA consultant.
- Q: I work in a contracted local community partner organization - What should my Texas Healthy Building Blocks FY23 workplan activities look like?
A: Write your FY23 workplan activities under the assumption that we will have resolved the lapse in Go NAPSACC access. Include all activities that will be necessary to meet your Texas Healthy Building Blocks targets. Do not redirect funds to other projects.
- Q: I work in a contracted State-level partner organization - What should my FY23 workplan activities look like?
A: We will publish further instructions on FY23 workplan activities soon. Please email bringinghealthyback@dshs.texas.gov with any specific questions.
