In addition to increased accessibility, the electronic SSRs will be available in English, Spanish, • Chinese Traditional, Vietnamese, and Filipino. In the future, we may also have the opportunity to make the SSRs available in additional • common languages and to deliver more dynamic and detailed information about a student’s progress. 8
