Spring Assessment Window:
The ELA Spring Assessment window opened on February 15 and ends on May 14. We encourage programs to utilize the KReady system for data collection.
- All student assessment data must be entered into the KReady system no later than June 3.
- The last day for data managers to generate the Learning Progression (LP) score report from the KReady system is June 28.
- The KReady system will close for the 2018-2019 school year on July 3rd for system maintenance and will open for the 2019-2020 school year on July 10th.
- Data for early childhood education (ECE) grant funded children must be entered into EAS by June 30th, 2019.
- Data for children funded by preschool special education (PSE) must be entered into EMIS by August 9th, 2019.
A few reminders:
- Teachers need to enter new ratings or resubmit unchanged ratings in the KReady system for the Learning Progression (LP) Score Report to accurately reflect current data for spring.
- Data managers need to enter a START date of 02/15/19 and an END date of 06/04/2019 when pulling the LP Report to accurately reflect the spring assessment window.
