If a school does not have an CDS code assigned by CDE, the following should be used:
For an NPS school: 9999999
For a Private school: 0000002
For a State preschool / Headstart program: Use the district CDS code as the school CDS code
- Click on the Administration section of the upper navigation bar, then click the Manage Schools/District link
- Click the Add a New School button
- Fill in the necessary information. In the SCHOOL CDS CODE field, input the appropriate 7 digit CDS code
- Click the Save button
If you have more than one school without a CDS code, you will want to replace the last digit with a letter in the CDS code field. For Example: Enter 999999A in the CDS Code field. In the CDS conversion field, you can enter the correct numbers: 9999999.
