Introduction to SSID Enrollment
Data Management Expectations
LEAs are responsible for reporting student
enrollments and exits to CALPADS in order to
maintain up-to-date student information in the
system. All California public LEAs must provide
up-to-date enrollment and exit information to
CALPADS in order to ensure the following

• an annual accounting of all students
• accurate dropout and graduate counts
• access to current information on transferring
  students to facilitate appropriate placement and
  services
• high-quality data for local, state and federal use

Introduction to SSID Enrollment
SSID and Enrollment Procedures Overview

• The California Department of Education (CDE) has
  developed new enrollment procedures as well as
  updated some existing procedures for CALPADS
• These procedures guide and define the algorithms
  that are employed to process and maintain the
  data submitted to CALPADS
• See link below for the complete listing of the

Introduction to SSID Enrollment
Key Procedures

• LEAs are expected to access CALPADS to acquire a
  students SSID for enrollment purposes (1.0)
• LEAs shall update CALPADS with a students school
  enrollment no later than 14 calendar days after
  the students expected first day of attendance
  (6.0)
• LEAs shall update CALPADS with student exit data
  no later than 14 calendar days after the date the
  district exits the student in their local system.
  The exit date to be used is the date of the last
  full day of attendance (6.0)
• LEAs should not obtain and maintain SSIDs for new
  students enrolled solely in summer or
  inter-session terms (4.0)

22
23
Introduction to SSID Enrollment
Key Procedures

• LEAs may pre-enroll a student in CALPADS up to 6
  months prior to the students first expected day
  of attendance (Student School Start Date) (4.1)
• While LEAs may pre-enroll students in their
  local systems, SSID requests to CALPADS should be
  delayed until a date closer to students first
  expected day of attendance. This practice will
  reduce the number of No Shows and concurrent
  enrollment anomalies reported to CALPADS.
