NJSLEDS August Development Updates
Overview
The NJSLEDS soft launch window officially closed on July 31, 2025. Thank you to every district that participated by uploading practice files, testing workflows, and submitting feedback. Your efforts are helping the NJDOE ensure a smooth, successful transition to the statewide launch on September 2, 2025.
What's Happening in August
From August 1-29, the NJSLEDS system will enter a scheduled development period. During this time:
- The NJDOE will collect and incorporate feedback from the soft launch.
- Updates will focus on system logic, user interface, error messaging, training materials, and Help Desk preparation.
- All pilot and soft launch data has been cleared from the system. These records will not carry into the statewide launch.
What Districts Should Do Now
- Continue using NJSMART for any remaining 2024-2025 reporting.
- Begin preparing for live submissions in NJSLEDS starting September 2.
- Check the User Resources page for updated handbooks, templates, and webinars as they are released throughout August.
- Reach out to the Help Desk if you have questions or need support.
We appreciate your partnership in this transition. Additional updates will be posted to this News page throughout August as we prepare for go-live.
