These KIDS tutorials provide an environment that allows you to explore the KIDS System.

There are seven lessons contained here along with some additional KIDS reports. Each lesson provides the opportunity for you to explore the KIDS System in a safe training environment. They simulate searching for a student, uploading a batch file, resolving core student data mis-matches, and generating reports. All student-level data displayed in the KIDS tutorials are fake data.  Follow the notes provided on each page of the lesson.

A final 2022-2023 KIDS New Staff training is offered, via Zoom, as a free opportunity for interested staff on April 13, 2023.. Sessions are intended for staff who have not used the KIDS Collection System before (or who have minimal experience with this system) and who will be responsible for submitting student data via KIDS. Instruction in the KIDS data elements and software submission processes is provided. Visit the KSDE Training Portal (Learning.ksde.org) to sign up.
