About T-PESS
DMAC offers both T-PESS and T-TESS bundled together as our Appraisal applications. When you purchase one, you get the other for no additional cost.
T-PESS works on any mobile device with an internet connection. There are two primary roles. Those who are Appraisers (Superintendents or Principals) and those who are being Appraised (Principals and Assistant Principals).
Educators with District or Campus logins (Administrators/Managers/Users) will need to register their accounts using their TSDS Unique ID and select their T-PESS role as a Principal, Assistant Principal or District Appraiser.
NOTE: If you are the DMAC District Administrator but are also a Principal or Assistant Principal, contact the DMAC Help Desk at 1.866.988.6777 to set up your account.
It’s very IMPORTANT to note that Appraisers in DMAC have access to CONFIDENTIAL employment records at your campus or district.
District/Campus Settings
From the top navigation bar, District Administrators establish the District/Campus Settings identifying Appraisers and managing the list of Principals and Assistant Principals.
Each new school year begins on July 1. Click the button to unlock or lock the previous school years appraisals (locks back automatically after 5 days). When a school year is locked, you are no longer able to make changes to any documentation for that year.
From the Appraisers tab, click the New button (top right) to add Appraisers. Check next to their names and click Add Users. Use the red X icon next to a name to delete someone’s access.
Select the Print icon to print out a listing of all Appraisers. Those with a Pending status must register a DMAC account with a TSDS Unique State ID, and then sign in to T-PESS to activate their accounts.
On the Principal or Assistant Principal sections, use the green arrow icons to transition a Principal to the Assistant Principal role or vice versa.
Click the red x icon to delete access or the restore icon to restore them.
