Important Notes for Sped Directors, DTCs, and District Administrators

DLM February Webinar Office of Student Assessment 4

If a teacher cannot access their student roster: Make sure the teacher has Teacher access not just PD access in educator portal. District Administrator can change access for teachers. When creating a roster, be sure to name it DLM 2014_2015 State Roster. When checking Roster files, be sure information in MISIS is correct. In MSIS on special education screen, the SCD indicator MUST marked yes for any student taking alternate assessment. If they take alternate assessment and SCD is not marked yes, the score will be invalidated.

longer assigned to me or who are not eligible for DLM assessments?

  • 3. Is each student assigned to the correct grade level?
  • 4. Does each student have a roster record for the correct
