There are several options for uploading data into CLI Engage to create accounts for your teachers and other staff, as well as adding children into the system for progress monitoring. At the beginning of each school year, we host a webinar on the data upload options. Click here to view the most recent recorded session on our Webinars & Presentations page.
We strongly recommend waiting until class rosters are finalized (approximately 1-2 weeks before your progress monitoring window opens) before uploading student and class information into CLI Engage. This may prevent and alleviate enrollment errors when uploading data into the Early Childhood Data System (ECDS) later in the school year.

Notes and tips for data uploads:
- Please note: There is an instruction tab at the foot of the roster template. If your Community and School Internal ID #s begin with a zero, place an apostrophe before the zero in order for our system to upload your data successfully i.e. if your community number is 012345, enter it is ‘012345 on the spreadsheet. The same applies for school internal ID numbers.
- Preventing Duplicate Teacher Accounts: Did you use CLI Engage last year? If so, your staff still have active accounts on the platform. When uploading the teachers and students into the system this year, be sure to use the same primary email address for any returning teachers. This will prevent the system from creating duplicate accounts.
To prevent data duplication, we recommend that all data uploads be completed by one individual. After you upload your rosters, each teacher will receive a registration invitation email. Please encourage teachers to click the link in the email to set-up their account and login to CLI Engage. If you have any questions or issues uploading data into CLI Engage, please submit a help ticket as soon as possible.
