ASSESSMENT ENROLLMENT VERIFICATION REPORT
Districts and schools will need to download the Assessment Enrollment Verification Report to determine who should have tested during your testing window. You will need to verify that your enrollment records match your local testing roster and that all of the information for the students who tested is correct.
Assessment Enrollment Verification Report Instructions
If students do not appear on the Assessment Enrollment Verification Report, check the following:
- That the student is enrolled in the correct Home and Serving schools,
- That the student is enrolled with the correct Start and End dates,
- That the student is enrolled in Grades 3-8, and
- That the student is marked “NO” for the Dynamic Learning Maps Alternate Assessment in the student’s Program Indicators instructions for this process, if applicable.
Districts have until July 31, 2022, to ensure that all students who tested appear on the Assessment Enrollment Verification Report. Enrollments will not be able to be added after this date.
