Fall 2023 PEIMS Submission Reminders  

The PEIMS Fall Snapshot is the source of several important pieces of data used for accountability calculations. Data collected during the Fall Submission is used to identify student characteristics to determine student groups, grade span for a campus, graduation type code, and a student’s continuously or non-continuously enrolled status. The CCMR Accountability Data Sources (texas.gov) provides additional information about the specific PEIMS elements and values used to identify students who have demonstrated college and/or career readiness through dual credit, industry certification, an associate degree, college prep courses, and special education graduates with an advanced graduation plan. 

The window for district submission, and correction if needed, of this data occurs during this school year.

Upcoming Fall 2023 PEIMS Submission Dates

December 7, 2023 – Fall Submission (initial submission) due. 
January 18, 2024 – Fall Resubmission (corrected submission) due. 

For further details on upcoming PEIMS submission dates please see TWEDS 2023-24 PEIMS Data Submission Timelines. As a reminder, districts are responsible for the accurate submission and timely verification of all TSDS PEIMS data submissions and data submitted to the Working File are not used in the accountability calculations.
