As with all self-reported data submitted through PEIMS, LEAs should retain supporting documentation for a minimum of five years.

Accountability and TIDE FAQ

How does student information in TIDE impact student groups in accountability?

Student groups for campus accountability are determined by the student identification, demographic data, and scoring status information entered in TIDE by the designated due date for each assessment. All score codes are also due to be entered and verified for all eligible testers by the end of each subject-area testing window. Although some information related to score codes can be adjusted during the designated data correction window later in the year, the information must be entered initially by the deadline listed in the Student Assessment Calendar of Events. For more information on score codes, please refer to the TIDE User Guide

Upcoming TIDE Dates:

April 19 – Deadline to enter score codes for Grades 3-8 RLA, English I, and English II

April 26 – Deadline to enter score codes for Grades 5 & 8 Science, Biology, Grade 8 Social Studies, and U.S. History

May 3 – Deadline to enter score codes for Grades 3-8 Math and Algebra I

May 3 – Final date to enter student information other than score codes for Accountability Reporting for all Spring STAAR assessments. Districts must ensure all student information, including student demographic, program enrollment, and designated supports information, is entered in TIDE by the deadline to ensure it is included in assessment reports for accountability. Changes to student information made after the deadline will not be updated in accountability reports.

Please see the Calendar of Events for detailed information about TIDE data submission deadlines.
