As of April 2023, the PDE has begun rolling out the Integrated Monitoring System (IMS). The AEDY Leader Services dashboard and all other AEDY functions are now a part of this system and require login through IMS for access.
The information below supports this transition for all users.
Your next steps are to go to SINGLE SIGN ON HOME (pdeims.com) and complete the password reset process as follows:
Click on the forgot username/password link under the Login button. Do not attempt to login.
Select your school entity from the dropdown list, then type your educational entity email in the textbox below.
An email from PDEIMS@leaderservices.com with a link to reset your password will be sent to you
Click on the link to reset your password. Please be sure to use the username provided in the password reset email when updating your credentials. Remember your username and new password.
Password requirements:
Must include 3 of the 4 following character types: uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters
Cannot be constructed with standard dictionary words or appear on a list of known compromised passwords
Must be at least 12 characters long
Login to SINGLE SIGN ON HOME (pdeims.com) with your username and new password
Please contact the IMS Team at RA-edims@pa.gov if you need further assistance.
The CSA of your educational entity as identified in EDNA and any LSA accounts have access to add users to IMS as well as identify their rolls. The video and guide, My Team for CSA/LSA, include the steps on how to do this.
The CSA can designate Local Security Administrator(s) to manage IMS access for the LEA. The Local Security Administrator (LSA) can add new users and manage user security roles in “My Team”. See the guide, Designating Local Security Administrator(s), linked above, for more information and steps.
*Both the CSA and LSA can unlock IMS user accounts when the account is locked for exceeding five unsuccessful attempts to login to IMS.* Please refer to the guide, Unlocking IMS User Accounts, linked above, for steps.
Q: What needs to be done if I change LEAs?
A: When a staff member joins a new LEA, their new CSA or LSA will need to create an account for them under the new LEA's purview. Follow the steps in the video above to do this. The CSA or LSA at the previous LEA can deactivate or revoke permissions on the original account - it will not affect the new account as the email addresses will be different.
Q: Who can I contact if I have questions about IMS?
A: If you need additional assistance, contact the PDE IMS team at RA-edims@pa.gov.
Q: I forgot my password - how do I reset it?
A: If you cannot remember your password, *do not attempt to login to IMS.* Follow the steps above under "How to receive your IMS login information and Reset your Password" to reset your password. If you make 5 attempts to login, you will be locked out of IMS for 24 hours or until the account is unlocked by your CSA or LSA.
Q: I forgot my password and am locked out of IMS - what do I do?
A: Contact your CSA or LSA - they have the ability to unlock user accounts. Steps are included in the guide "Unlocking IMS User Accounts," linked above.
