The Student Management and Staff Management Fall submissions have been open since July. If your district has not yet uploaded its complete file set, upload all required records now so there is time to review and resolve errors before the October 15 deadline.

Uploading a file with only a few records does not fulfill your district’s reporting requirements. Confirm that your submissions include all students and staff members required for the Fall Snapshot.

Student Management and Staff Management Fall submissions close Thursday, October 15, 2026, at 5 p.m. Please allow time to complete any needed corrections before the window closes.

A system issue affecting some student and staff records after School Year Errors were corrected has been fixed. After correcting the applicable fields in your local source system, re-upload the affected records to NJSLEDS so they can be processed and appear in current-year views and reports.

An issue that incorrectly displayed a SchoolExitDate warning for some 2026–2027 Student Management records has been fixed. The warning stated that the student should not be inactivated before the end-of-year snapshot.

Re-upload the affected Student Management records to NJSLEDS to resolve the warning. Do not change an accurate SchoolExitDate solely to clear this warning.

Do not change an accurate exit date solely to clear an error.

If the record still does not appear after the error has been resolved and the record has been re-uploaded, please contact the Help Desk with the Student ID (SID) or Staff ID (SMID) and the School Year Error that was corrected.
