After You Submit

When you click Onboarding Complete on the Status step, your district moves into processing. This page explains what happens from that moment until your district is live, and what to do in each phase.

1. Importing (your access is paused)

As soon as you submit, your district enters the importing phase. TKG Analytics works through everything you uploaded, oldest year first: your schools, staff, students, enrollments, and schedules for each collected year; your readiness standards; your SLAIF files for the last four years; your scores for each collected year; your impacts; and your state impact files.

If you marked something as not yet released

If you ticked that the state had not released a file yet, your import still runs. What happens next depends on the file:

• SLAIF. Upload it through your district's file uploader once the state publishes it. TKG Analytics imports it overnight, so there is nothing else to do.
• State impact files. Upload them and open a Helpdesk Ticket. These are not picked up overnight, so we run the import for you. Until then your readiness standards are the previous year's figures rolled forward.

We keep a record of what each district marked, so we know what is outstanding rather than having to ask.

While this runs:

• Your access is temporarily paused. You will see a "We'll be back shortly" maintenance screen.
• You do not need to do anything. Our team is notified automatically and monitors the import.

This phase is automated and usually takes a few minutes to a little longer depending on the size of your district.

2. Validating (verify your data)

Once the import finishes and our team has reviewed it, we open the validating phase and your access is restored. You will receive the Verify your data email letting you know it is time to look things over.

In this phase:

• Review your imported data to confirm it looks right: your schools, students, scores, and impacts.
• If anything looks off, open a Helpdesk Ticket. We are happy to set up a call to review the data together.

Your district is not fully live yet. This is your chance to catch problems before your whole district gets access.

3. Completed (your district is live)

When you confirm the data is correct, we mark your onboarding complete. You will receive the Onboarding Complete email, and your district's staff gain access to the platform.

Completing onboarding also sets up your current school year's assessments, so you can upload benchmark scores as soon as you are live: a benchmark for each of the first three nine weeks, a fourth if any of your schools runs semester (4x4) courses, and the state assessment. District midterms are not added; you create those yourself.

If your district uses custom or K–1 cut scores, your completion email includes a link to instructions for reviewing and adjusting your custom cut scores, which start from default values.

Finishing your setup

Once your district is live, a few steps help you get the most out of TKG Analytics. Review these now that your data is in:

• Readiness standards: review and adjust your readiness standards so the Readiness Index reads correctly for your district.
• EL handling: confirm your EL subgroups and EL score exclusions are set the way your district needs.
• Nightly data transfers: set up an API token so your SIS data updates automatically each night.
• MAAP-A students: confirm your MAAP-A students are flagged correctly so low-performing counts and projected ratings are accurate.
• Custom teachers: add SPED, Gifted, or other non-traditional teacher assignments.
• District and school users: add the principals and staff who need access.
• Teacher users: when you are ready for teachers to log in.
