About the Report

In order for the student to have state assessment accommodations for the current school year, the student must have a "State Assessment" page for the current academic year completed in a locked IEP meeting.

This page may have been completed and locked last year as a "Next State Assessment" page or completed and locked this year as a "Current State Assessment" page.

If a student only has a "State Assessment" page for a previous school year in their last locked IEP meeting, then those accommodations will not feed to the "State Assessments Report," nor will the accommodations feed to any exports (e.g., TestHound).

Likewise, if a student is retaking any "End-Of-Course Assessment(s)," that assessment must be included in the student’s current academic year "State Assessment" page. If this information is not included, accommodations will not feed to the "State Assessments" report, nor will the accommodations feed to any exports (e.g., TestHound).

The Accommodations field is a district-customizable field that can be updated by your "District Admin."

In order for a subject to be listed on the report, the facilitator must have used the drop-down to select the Test Type. If the Test Type field is left blank, that subject’s recommendations will not pull into the report.
