Student Accommodations: Understanding TIDE Rosters

TIDE is composed of two systems:

• SAT System (for College Board) 

• Cambium TIDE System (for ILEARN/IREAD/HS Bio/US Gov’t) 

• Students must have an enrollment record and be in the grade 11 cohort (not necessarily grade 11).

• No accommodations are pulled from the SIS or template, and schools must enter them directly into TIDE.

  • OR by contacting Indiana Assessments (INassessments@doe.in.gov)

• TIDE rosters are populated with files sent to the assessment vendor(s) from Student School Association (enrollment) data where primary school = ‘true’ provided via Data Exchange.

• Student accommodation(s) provided from the IDOE Special Programs IEP or ILP systems, SIS, or templates will be included in the file sent to the assessment vendor from the enrollment school = ‘true’.

• Accommodations provided prior to 4:00pm ET will be included in the file sent to the assessment vendor.

Note: Demographic flag in TIDE will continue to mark the student as Special Education even if the services were terminated after December 1 count.

• 504 Accommodations from the SIS or template to Data Exchange

  • Note: If your school utilizes the IDOE Special Programs system to manage a 504, you must still provide the accommodation from the SIS or submit via template to Data Exchange.

• Multilingual Learner Accommodations from an SIS or template

  • If a student’s Multilingual Learner Accommodations are present within the IDOE Special Programs ILP system, those accommodations will be provided into Data Exchange; otherwise accommodations must be provided from the SIS or template to Data Exchange.

• Grade 4, 5, and 6 who have not passed will be provided for the TIDE roster.

• Schools can manually add the student(s) to the TIDE roster. Schools will need to work with Indiana Assessments (INassessments@doe.in.gov) regarding any student(s) not found on an assessment roster that needs to be included.

• If schools see student(s) are set to retest but have a Good Cause Exemption - they can turn off the student required to test.

  • There is no harm if the student does not test.
