Adding Students

This section explains how to add a new student record to TIDE. You can also add the same student to more than one school or district, if required. For more information, Dual-Enrolling Students.

To individually add a student to a district and school, you must be associated with the same district and school as the student. For example, district-level users can add students to any school within their district; school-level users can add students only to their school.

To add a student:

1.From the Students task menu on the dashboard, select Add Students. The Add Students page appears. For more information about using record forms, the section Navigating Record Forms.

2. Fill out the form as required. Use Table 4 as a reference.

In the Student Demographics panel, enter the student’s demographic information.
In the Test Eligibility panel, do the following:
- Select whether the student is eligible for paper tests.
- Select whether the student has parental consent for remote A/V monitoring.
In the available student test settings and tools panels, enter the student’s settings for each test. The test settings are grouped into categories, such as visual, auditory, and language/presentation. Furthermore, the options available for a test setting are also grouped to indicate if an option is an accommodation, designated support, or universal tool. The panels display a column for each of the student’s tests. You can select different settings for each test, if necessary.

3.Click Save.

a.If a student already exists, a confirmation pop-up window appears.
