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.
