PEIMS Fall Submission

Prerequisites
Before starting the verification process, ensure the following tasks have been completed within the respective applications:

Security Administration

• Verify all roles and users are correct.

Registration

• Local Programs set up in District Profile – See QuickGuide: Local Programs
• Set up Post Secondary Certification Licensure Table
• Assign Student UID Numbers

Grade Reporting

• Clean up invalid course codes
• Set up TSDS Crosswalks

• Rules and Exceptions

  
  Standard Rule
  

  • Begin Date: Enter the first instructional day the event occurs.
  • End Date: Enter the first instructional day after the last day the event occurs.
    
    

  Example:
  A student begins attending the Band course August 12, 2025. This is the first instructional day they participated. The student later withdraws from the course. The last day they attended, or were expected to attend, the class was September 25, 2025.
  
  Here is how these dates are entered into the system:

  • Begin Date: Enter 8/12/2025 (The first day of attendance).
  • End Date: Enter 9/26/2025 (The first instructional day after the last day of attendance/expectation, September 25th).

  
  Exception: StaffSectionAssociation

  • BeginDate (E3010) Enter the first instructional day in the current school year the staff is assigned to the section.
  • EndDate (E3020) Enter the last instructional day the staff was assigned to the section.

  
  

  NOTE: When extracted for reporting, the system automatically adds one day to this date. This reported date represents the first day after the last instructional day. This is the only instance where the system adds days to the entered date, as a date after the last day of the school year cannot be manually entered.

  • The following fields are used to calculate MonthlyMinutes (E1057): Days (of the week), Time Begin, and Time End.
    • If Time Begin and Time End are blank, the TSDS Crosswalks are used to calculate MonthlyMinutes (E1057).
    • If Time Begin and Time End are not blank, the extract uses these values along with the Days (of the week) to calculate MonthlyMinutes (E1057).

• How In-District Campus Transfers Affect Student Data

  
  

  When a student transfers from one campus to another within the district, the system manages different types of student data (Elements, Characteristics, and Programs) in one of two ways.
  
  It is critical to know which items require manual attention to ensure the student's record is correct at the new campus.

  
  

  Elements/Programs that are NOT Automatic (Requires Manual Reentry)

  These specific Elements, Characteristics, or Programs are automatically exited on the student's record at the old campus upon transfer. The new campus must manually re-enter a new record for these items with the appropriate Begin Date to restart the service/status.

  • Eco/Dis
  • Foster Care
  • Military Connected
  • Homeless Status
  • Unaccompanied Youth
  • Early Reading Indicator
  • Unschooled Asylee Refugee
  • Adult Previous Attendance
  • Full Time Hybrid Virtual Program
  • Dyslexia Risk
  • Dyslexia Services
  • Local Programs
  • PK Program
  • PK Fund Source

  
  
  

  NOTE: If the element or program is not manually reentered, the student will not be reported as participating in that service at the new campus.

  
  

  Elements/Programs that ARE Automatic (Transfer with the Student)

  These specific Elements, Characteristics, or Programs automatically re-enter/transfer with the student to the new campus. The End Date at the old campus is automatically calculated, and the Begin Date at the new campus is automatically set to the transfer date (first instructional day at the new campus).
  
  No manual reentry is required.

  • Special Ed
  • GT
  • BIL/ESL
  • Title I (If campus is identified as a schoolwide Title I campus.)
  • CTE Program Service
  • PRS

• Verify and Update District Data

  
  Registration > Maintenance > District Profile > District Maintenance > State Reporting
  
  

• Verify and Update Campus Data

  
  Registration > Maintenance > Campus Profile > Campus Information Maintenance > Control Info
  
  

• Verify Master Schedule Data

  
  Data in the district master schedule can be verified by running the following reports:
  
  

  Grade Reporting > Reports > Grade Reporting Reports > Master Schedules > SGR0220 – Invalid Service ID
  
  
  
  The SGR0220 report compares the district Service ID to the list of CourseCodes (formerly known as the SERVICE-ID (C022) code table) in TWEDS for the current year. Any courses with invalid course codes are listed in the report.
  
  

  ---

  
  Grade Reporting > Reports > Grade Reporting Reports > Master Schedules > SGR0050 – District Master List (Grd Rpting)
  
  
  
  The SGR0050 report, sorted by Service ID, allows you to easily identify any duplicate local course codes. Local CourseCodes must be unique for each distinct course within the district. This report also allows users to verify Pop Serv, Role ID, and Class Type for all courses.
  
  

  ---

  
  Grade Reporting > Reports > Grade Reporting Reports > Instructors > SGR0140 - Instructor List
  
  
  
  The SGR0140 report allows you to:
  

  • Ensure all temporary staff IDs have been updated
  • Verify that staff IDs are correct
  • Verify Excl From Fall PEIMS setting for instructors

  
  
  

  NOTE: If staff data should not be extracted from Grade Reporting for Fall PEIMS, select the Excl From Fall PEIMS field on Grade Reporting > Maintenance > Master Schedule > Campus Schedule > Instructor. This sets the SGR0140 indicator to Y.

  
  
  

  ---

  
  Grade Reporting > Reports > Grade Reporting Reports > Instructors > SGR2500 - Schedule of Classes
  
  
  
  The SGR2500 report provides a count of students in each instructor’s class, as well as the Service ID CourseCodes (formerly known as the SERVICE-ID (C022) code table) and total students.
  
  It allows you to:
  

  • Identify course sections with no students enrolled
  • Verify several data elements within the following data entities: Course, CourseOffering, Section, and StaffSectionAssociation.

  
  
  

  Recommendations:
  • Delete any course sections that have no students enrolled and are not in use. This prevents the system from sending incorrect or unnecessary data during processing.
  
  • For districts that use the multi-period scheduling for elementary grade reporting, each subject should have a unique period. This is recommended by the TEA for classroom linking.

  
  
  

  ---

  
  Grade Reporting > Reports > Grade Reporting Reports > Master Schedules > SGR0110 – Master Schedule PEIMS
  
  
  
  The SGR0110 report provides campus-level PEIMS information for the current school year.
  It allows you to verify campus course information at the section level.
  

  NOTE: Section level settings override district level settings.

  
  
  

  REMINDER: Specific to the StaffSectionAssociation
  

  • BeginDate (E3010) Enter the first instructional day in the current school year the staff is assigned to the section.
  • EndDate (E3020) Enter the last instructional day the staff was assigned to the section.

  NOTE: When extracted for reporting, the system automatically adds one day to this date. This reported date represents the first day after the last instructional day. This is the only instance where the system adds days to the entered date, as a date after the last day of the school year cannot be manually entered.

  • The following fields are used to calculate MonthlyMinutes (E1057): Days (of the week), Time Begin, and Time End.
    • If Time Begin and Time End are blank, the TSDS Crosswalks are used to calculate MonthlyMinutes (E1057).
    • If Time Begin and Time End are not blank, the extract uses these values along with the Days (of the week) to calculate MonthlyMinutes (E1057).

  
  

  Recommendations:
  • For campuses with a set bell schedule, use Crosswalk 042 Responsibilities – From Campus/Period to Minutes to assign MonthlyMinutes (E1057) based on the period. Only enter the Time Begin and Time End fields for the specific course sections that do not follow the standard bell schedule.
  
  • For course sections where daily subject minutes may fluctuate, such as elementary teachers whose subject times vary, use Crosswalk 043 (Responsibilities – From Campus/Service ID to Minutes) to assign MonthlyMinutes (E1057) based on the CourseCode, formerly known as SERVICE-ID.

• Update Master Schedule Data

  
  Grade Reporting > Maintenance > Master Schedule > District Schedule
  
  
  
  ❏ Select the magnifying glass to update Course Number information.
  

  • The selected information is displayed. The grid view can be changed.

    The default view in the grid is basic course information indicated by ⇒ Crs Nbr in the area below the grid. You can modify the view in the grid by clicking an underlined header in that area.
    
    For example, if you click the PEIMS header, only PEIMS information is displayed in the grid. The PEIMS header is displayed as ⇒ PEIMS indicating that it is the current view.

  
  
  

  ---

  
  
  Grade Reporting > Maintenance > Master Schedule > Campus Schedule > Section
  
  
  
  ❏ Select the magnifying glass to update Course Number information.
  
  Several fields exist on both the district and campus master schedules. These fields only need to be updated in the campus master schedule if they require different values than the district master schedule.

  • If the field in the campus master schedule (section record) contains data, that value is extracted.
  • If the field is blank in the campus master schedule (section record), the district value is extracted.
  • Under District Information, district-level settings are displayed for your information.

  Change the grid view: To display the applicable fields in the grid, click the section heading below the grid. An arrow is displayed next to the heading to indicate that those fields are displayed above.

• Verify TSDS Crosswalks

  
  Grade Reporting > Maintenance > Tables > TSDS Crosswalks
  
  
  
  ❏ Select the appropriate crosswalk from the Crosswalk Type dropdown menu.
  
  ❏ Click Print to print the data displayed.
  
  
  
  

  NOTE: The TSDS Crosswalks Print option allows users to verify the accuracy of their set-up.

• Update Crosswalks

  
  

  Crosswalks are used to calculate and assign the MONTHLY-MINUTES (E1057) for staff responsibilities in the four weeks preceding the PEIMS Fall snapshot date (the last Friday in October). They are essential for ensuring minutes are reported accurately and consistently across the district.

  
  
  Logic for Monthly Minutes Assignment
  
  The system determines the Monthly Minutes (E1057) for a course section using the following hierarchy:
  

  1. Time Fields First: The system first looks at the Begin Time and End Time fields for the specific course section. If these fields are populated, the minutes are calculated from this time range.
  2. 043 Crosswalk: If the Begin Time and End Time fields are blank, the system checks the 043 Crosswalk (Responsibilities – From Campus/Service ID to Minutes) to see if the CourseCode (Service ID) is set up.
  3. 042 Crosswalk: If the CourseCode (Service ID) is not set up on the 043 Crosswalk, the system looks at the 042 Crosswalk (Responsibilities – From Campus/Period to Minutes).

  
  
  Grade Reporting > Maintenance > Tables > TSDS Crosswalks

  NOTE: Minutes for any holidays should be included.

  Crosswalk Type	Purpose and Usage
  042 – Responsibilities – From Campus/Period to Minutes	For campuses with a set bell schedule, use Crosswalk 042 Responsibilities – From Campus/Period to Minutes to assign MonthlyMinutes (E1057) based on the period. Only enter the Time Begin and Time End fields for the few, specific course sections that do not follow the standard bell schedule.
  043 – Responsibilities – From Campus/Service ID to Minutes	For course sections where daily subject minutes may fluctuate, such as elementary teachers whose subject times vary, use Crosswalk 043 (Responsibilities – From Campus/Service ID to Minutes) to assign MonthlyMinutes (E1057) based on the CourseCode (formerly known as SERVICE-ID).
  044 – PE Responsibilities – Campus/Crs/Sec	Use Crosswalk 044 (PE Responsibilities – Campus/Crs/Sec) to enter the number of days and minutes in which the PE teacher provides physical education instruction each week at the campus for the four weeks in October that include the last Friday in October. This is required for all teachers of record for course-sections associated with specific physical education (PE) CourseCodes.

  
  
  

  These fields are not reported for employees with PE substitution responsibilities (i.e., employees with service IDs PES00000-PES00015).
  
  Records are created for non-campus-based PE courses (i.e., Non Campus Based is greater than 00 in the campus master schedule) if the course is taught during semester 1 and at least one student is enrolled in the class.
  
  This crosswalk is not used for Business-only districts whose responsibility records come from Human Resources, or if PE service IDs are not used for PE courses, or if your PE service ID courses do not have students. All other districts should use this crosswalk.

  
  
  

  Update Data:

  Crosswalk Type:
  044 PE Responsibilities - Campus/Crs/Sec
  
  

  Create or update the crosswalk:

  ❏ In the Crosswalk Table field, select 044-PE Responsibilities - Campus/Crs/Sec.
  
  ❏ The first time you access the page, there will be rows from the previous year displayed. Click Delete then click Create to add current year courses.

  A list of course-sections associated with physical education (PE) service IDs is listed. This list is predefined and cannot be changed.
  
  The From column lists course-sections in the campus-course-section format, where:

  • The first three digits are the campus ID.
  • The next digits are the course number, which may contain between four and eight digits.
  • The last two digits are the section number.
  • The course-sections are for semester 1.

  
  
  ❏ For the Teacher of Record for each course-section listed, enter the following information for the four weeks in October that include the last Friday in October:

  • In the Day Week 1-4 fields, type the number of days in which the employee provides physical education instruction each week at the campus. Valid entries are one digit between 0-5.
    
    
  • In the Mins Week 1-4 fields, type the number of minutes the employee provides physical education instruction each week at the campus. Valid entries are up to four digits between 0-3000.
    
    

  These fields are automatically populated according to the Days code entered on Grade Reporting > Maintenance > Master Schedule > Campus Schedule > Section for each course-section meeting time. The program calculates the minutes in the days from the section Time Begin/End and sums for each meeting time the days per week for that meeting time, then multiplies the minutes per day for that meeting time to calculate the minutes for each week.

• Graduates, Leavers and No Shows

  
  

  Ensure that all data is accurate for Graduates, Leavers and No Shows.

  Definitions

  • A graduate is a student who met graduation requirements by August 31.
  • A leaver is a student who was enrolled at least one day at a Texas public school in grade level 7-12 during the prior year and did not enroll in a Texas public school the following Fall by the end of the school start window due to a specific reason defined by TEA in the PEIMS Leaver Data – Documentation Requirements for the PEIMS Leaver Data.
  • A No Show is a student who did not withdraw last year but is not attending this year.

  
  No Show Students
  Every student who is withdrawn with Reason code 44 (i.e., No Show) will automatically be set to code 98 (i.e., Dropout) when the fall data is extracted. If this is not correct for the student, you must change the student’s status code from 44 to the appropriate code once the correct code is determined.
  
  

  NOTE:

  • The following withdrawal codes are also set to code 98 when the fall data is extracted: 02, 04, 08, 09, 10, 14, 15, 19, 22, 30, 44, 61, 72, 79, and 84.
  • The following codes are set to blank and are not extracted: 31, 33, 49, 63, 64, 80, and EP.
  • Any user-defined codes that do not get set to blank will be set to code 98.
  • If the student met graduation requirements by August 31, change the Reason code from 44 (i.e., No Show) to 01 (i.e., Graduated from a campus in this district or charter) and enter the student’s graduation date. It is not necessary to create a leaver record on the Prior Year Leaver Tracking page.
