CALPADS Listservs

The California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System (CALPADS) listservs listed below provide one-way communication from the California Department of Education (CDE) to local educational agencies (LEAs), Student Information System (SIS) vendors, and LEAs utilizing custom-designed Student Information Systems. LEAs and entities subscribing to given listservs will receive information via email relevant to the development and implementation of CALPADS. The CDE strongly recommends that LEAs and SIS vendors maintain active subscriptions to the appropriate CALPADS listservs, as these listservs serve as a vital means of communicating important information about CALPADS. Additional information pertaining to CALPADS can also be obtained on the CDE CALPADS Web page. Here you will find current updates, links to various communications, system documentation, and relevant CALPADS information. If you have any questions, please submit them via e-mail to calpads@cde.ca.gov.
