Interchanges (Field Mapping & Rules)
Overview
The TSDS Class Roster Submission is one of the Core Collection Submissions required by the Texas Education Agency (TEA). LEAs must collect and report information required to link a student’s assessment results to the teacher who provided the associated instruction. This collection enables testing vendors to return assessment results to TEA at the class roster level.
There are two submissions: Fall and Winter. They collect the same information, except:
- Fall reports students in grades 1-12.
- Winter reports students in grades EE-12.
Aeries provides tools to extract the appropriate data for the Class Roster Submission from the district's Student Information System (SIS) database. The extract programs create the files that can be submitted to TEA.
For a complete list of extract rules and edits, see TSDS Web-Enabled Data Standards (TWEDS).

Steps ↑
Navigate to School Info > Imports and Exports > Texas State Reporting
Before creating extracts, verify the settings on the TSDS/PEIMS Options, Code Translations, and Schools tab:
TSDS/PEIMS Options Tab
Expand the TSDS/PEIMS Options tab to set various options before creating extracts. See Texas State Reporting - Options Tab.
Code Translations Tab
Expand the Code Translations tab to map certain custom/local codes to the required PEIMS/TSDS codes. See Texas State Reporting - Code Translations Tab.
For the Class Roster Submission, the following Code Sets should be reviewed and updated if needed:
- Non-Campus Based Instruction (CRS.NCI)
- Semester Sequence Type (CRS.CSQ)
- Student Gender (STU.GN)
- Student Race (STU.RC1)
- Subject Area (CRS.S1)
WARNING: If the TSDS/PEIMS Description (right column) is left blank, the code will be extracted as blank. It is recommended that you do not click Add Local Codes unless all COD values will be translated. Clicking Add Local Codes is optional and may not be needed if the district does not need to translate many codes. In this case, rows can be added individually.
Schools Tab
Expand the Schools tab to select the schools to include when extracting data. See Texas State Reporting - Schools Tab.
Class Roster Tab
Expand the Class Roster tab to create the XML extract files for the Class Roster Fall or Winter Submission.
