Core Collection: Early Childhood Data System - PK Submission (To Be Updated)


The Early Childhood Data System (ECDS) collection is one of the TSDS Core Collections. This guide covers the submission of prekindergarten (PK) data. (Kindergarten data is submitted separately.) The reporting of PK program data for ECDS is mandatory for all public school districts. The reporting of private PK program data is optional.

LEAs are required to submit specific demographic, classroom link, and special program data elements for the ECDS PK collection. All elements will be submitted in the PEIMS Summer Collection.

The ECDS PK submission is due June 26, 2025.

NOTE: The assessment vendor will provide the ECDS PK assessment data directly to LEAs in TWEDS-compliant XML format. LEAs will load the assessment data files into TSDS.
