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) 

How the SAT Rosters Work:

  • 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.

How the ILEARN / IREAD TIDE Rosters Work:

  • 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 Indiana IEP, Indiana ILP, 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.

ILEARN TIDE Pulls a Student’s:

  • 504 Accommodations from the SIS or template

    • Note: If your school utilizes the Indiana IEP system to manage a 504, you must still provide the accommodation from the SIS or submit via template.

  • Multilingual Learner Accommodations from an SIS or template

    • If a student’s Multilingual Learner Accommodations are present with IILP, TIDE will pull them from a student's ILP; otherwise accommodations must be provided from the SIS or template.

For IREAD-3 ReTesters:

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

  • Schools can manually add the student(s) to the TIDE roster.

  • 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.
