What is CBEDS?

The California Basic Educational Data System (CBEDS) is an annual data collection administered in October. CBEDS data are reported through an Online Reporting Application (CBEDS-ORA). The purpose of CBEDS is to collect data about schools and districts, as well as some aggregate data on students and staff.

The CBEDS data collection is comprised of a County/District Information Form (CDIF), a School Information Form (SIF), and a District of Choice Supplemental (DOCS). The CDIF is used to collect data specific to districts and county offices on the number of classified staff, estimated number of teacher hires, work visa applications, and home-to-school transportation data. The SIF is used to collect data specific to schools on the number of classified staff, kindergarten program type, educational calendars, and work visa applications (for charter schools). The DOCS is used to collect District of Choice transfer information and is only required for districts participating in the District of Choice program.


What does that mean? 

The State of California looks at Emerson’s attendance this day 
and this helps decide how much funding we get for the following year!


You being at school is important to our funding!


Its how our school gets money for all the cool things, events, and supplies for school.


In order to Boost our Numbers, Mrs. Arevalo has offered a challenge to the school! 
If we can get 100% attendance in each classroom, Mrs. Arevalo will allow that classroom to toss water balloons at her!


Let's make this a memorable event and guess what, all your kids have to do is show up to school!



Below is the slide deck shared with our students, please share it with your kids!
