AIM Data Collections
The AIM Data Collection Schedule contains a complete list of all AIM data collections occurring throughout the year. The following AIM Data Collections are taking place during the months of January and February and are due as follows:
Spring ANB Collection, due 2/13/2024
· The Spring ANB collection is the second student enrollment count for ANB funding. The count date is Monday, February 6, 2024, and is due no later than February 13, 2024. This is a solid deadline, as the School Finance team needs time to process data sheets for the statutory March 1, 2024, deadline. Please review enrollments prior to the February 6 count date and be prepared to review and submit in a timely manner. This collection includes Early Graduates (requires End Date with End Status 400, Diploma Date, Diploma Type, and Diploma Period of 01 or 02), Absent Counts (for February 6, 2024), Montana Youth Challenge, Job Corps, and 19/20 Eligible for ANB. Validation Reports may be run at any time.
Math, English/Language Arts, Science Test Registration, through 5/24/2024 Assessment registration begins in January, with regular updates from the OPI to the test portal. Please review enrollment, demographic, and program participation information (including English Learners and Special Education) for students in grades 5-8 regularly during this time period.
Other Reminders
AIM Reporting Cohort Data - Date First Entered 9th Grade:
Please ensure all high school students have their Date First Entered 9th Grade field populated under the Graduation Tab. Use the Data Validation Reports in Infinite Campus to assist with data verification.
AIM Student Photos Needed:
Please remember to collect the Student Photo Opt-In information from parents as register their students. Districts are required to provide information on the repository and information about how to opt in (20-7-1317, MCA). Districts must then upload the students’ photos into Infinite Campus, so the photos in AIM with the Opt-in value can be used by the Department of Justice to help find missing children. See our AIM District Student Photo Repository user guide for additional information.
Updating AIM Contact Information:
Please update your AIM contacts whenever there is a change in AIM staff or AIM contact info at your district or school. Instructions may be found on the AIM webpage.
Thank you!!
Fall Personnel, Teacher Class Reporting
Thank you to all of our districts for your work in completing the Fall Personnel and Teacher Class reports. This was a huge lift for the AIM staff and for the districts completing the reports. We appreciate your patience as we work through calls, emails, and data corrections. This information will be shared with School Finance for use in the calculation of the Quality Educator Component (QEC), IT, and Data (for Federal reporting purposes), and with School Accreditation. If you have any questions about your data submission, please don't hesitate to contact us!

Personnel Reporting and Course Enrollment Updates ·
You can update your personnel information and course enrollments at any time in Infinite Campus. Keeping this information up to date during the year will assist with mid-year reporting (courses) and end-of-year reporting (personnel).
For students who leave the districts, enrollment in courses will be ended when the enrollment record is ended. New students should be added using the walk-in scheduler on the enrollment tab. Information on the walk-in scheduler may be found in the Campus Community.
