The High School Graduation Snapshot, covering 2026 graduates, is due Monday, August 31. Districts should inactivate all 2026 graduates, including summer graduates, in Student Management before the deadline. Students who remain active when the Snapshot is captured are counted as non-graduates in state and federal graduation rate calculations and can only be corrected later through the Graduation Appeals process. As always, make any needed corrections in your local source system first, then upload the corrected records to NJSLEDS. Guidance is available on the User Resources page.
