Timely Submission of the Preschool Outcomes Data

The Preschool Survey can be accessed and saved multiple times. Once data is submitted, it is not editable. If the LEA needs to update information submitted prior to July 31, the LEA may submit a ticket using the SE Applications Dashboard: Contact State” feature and ask GaDOE to reopen the application. Any data submitted after July 31 cannot be reopened and changed. 


Submission Troubleshooting: Warnings and Errors

You will not be able to submit until there is (1) valid preschool outcome data, (2) an uploaded Preschool Outcomes Template, and (3) verification of the data certification identified by checking the certification box. If you receive an error message, fix the error, and try to resubmit it. 


Verification of LEA Submission

Verify submission of Preschool Outcomes by checking for a green pop-up notification that reads “Preschool Outcomes data has been submitted successfully.” The Preschool Outcomes Tile will also display status as “Submitted” after a successful submission. 


Any submission after July 31 will be late. Late submissions will impact the LEA’s Timely and Accurate Data score.
