        All grades

        If a student fits into one of these categories, then you must report every class the student took during the entire school year.

        2018-19 TSDL Reporting Changes

        In response to concerns from the field and in consultation with several districts and ISDs, updates are being made to the MSDS TSDL Collection beginning with the 2018-19 school year. These changes will clarify how to submit dual enrollment courses and make it easier to update and submit course records. To view these changes, please visit 2018-19 TSDL Reporting Changes.

        EEM: D/CH Reporting Deadline

        The deadline for submitting the Days and Clock Hours of Instruction Report (DS-4168) is nearing. District users can submit and certify reports until July 16 at 11:59 p.m. EDT. ISD users will have until Aug. 1 to review and certify the report.

        GAD and REP: MILogin Migration Update

        In July GAD and REP will migrate from the Michigan Education Information System to MILogin. 

        CEPI is working with the MILogin team to automatically subscribe users who currently have access to GAD and REP and have an existing MILogin account (matching first name, last name and email address between MEIS and MILogin). Please do not create another MILogin account if you already have one.

        CEPI will communicate the date of the migration with the final details for existing users.

        MI School Data: Report Release News

        New Home Page Planned

        A new mobile-friendly home page for MI School Data will be released this month. The home page will include easy access to large features such as the Parent Dashboard and Student Assessment reports, and smaller features of high interest from the Early Childhood, K-12, Postsecondary and Workforce reports. The Report Calendar will be prominently placed as well for quick reference.

        Released in Preview

        Continuity of Service in Special Education: The Service Pathways and Service Comparisons reports provide data on early intervention and special education services delivered to Michigan children between birth and third grade. The reports have been updated in preview with 2016-17 school year data and will be released to the public in one week.

        MI School Data Secure Account Inactivation

        To streamline account maintenance processes, secure MI School Data accounts with no login activity since Jan. 1, 2017 will be inactivated on Aug. 1, 2018. Those with inactivated accounts will receive a “Your login attempt was not successful” message after attempting to login, and will be unable to access secure data.
