Students are grouped on the Assessment Correction (Detail) Report by a combination of their Home School and Testing School. For most students, their Home School is the same as their Testing School. Students in grades 3-8 are included in the Assessment Correction Report when the date of their SIS enrollment falls within the start and end dates of their Testing School’s Test Window, as identified in SIS. Note: If a school did not enter a Test Window start and end date, these have been defaulted to 03/05/18 – 04/20/18. 2) What should I review in the PARCC Assessment Correction Report? • Ensure students are included on the appropriate Assessment Correction report. If a student appears on PARCC Assessment Correction but should be on DLM-AA Assessment Correction and Scores, verify the student’s IDEA Services (IEP) indicator is “Yes” and take the following steps: Step 1: Login to SIS via [IWAS](IWAS from www.isbe.net)[ from](IWAS from www.isbe.net)[ ](IWAS from www.isbe.net)[www.isbe.net](IWAS from www.isbe.net) under “System Quick Links.” Step 2: Click on Assessment Pre-ID, then PARCC. Step 3: Enter SID and one of the following: Last Name, First Name, or Date of Birth. Click Search. Step 4: Select “Remove from PARCC and Add to DLM-AA” Click Submit. • Correct indicators as needed, paying special attention to the "First Year in U.S. School " indicator Note that is it not necessary to review the "Enrolled in Home School/District on or Before May 1" indicators, as ISBE can collect these data by other means, as needed. • Enter a Reason for No Valid Test Attempt (RNVTA) as applicable. Rely on your local records until scores are posted. Notes about entering RNVTAs: o SIS Entry and Exit dates have been included in the Assessment Correction Report to assist with this review. o A PARCC scale score is generated in a content area only when students respond to at least one item in at least 2 out of 3 units or in at least 3 out of 4 units. Any attempt that does not meet these criteria will require a RNVTA. o If a student started testing in your school and completed testing in a different school, enter code 07 (Transferred Out Prior to Testing) as the RNVTA for both content tests. Score data for both tests will be attributed to the new school. o If a student enrolled in your school but had already started/completed testing in his/her previous school or transferred in too late for testing to be feasible, enter code 08 (Transferred In After Test Administration) as the RNVTA. o Any RNVTA entered for a student who receives a score will be removed automatically after scores are posted. o Any student without a PARCC scale score or “Reason for No Valid Test Attempt” will be considered to be “Absent from Testing” which negatively affects participation rate and possibly percent proficient rate. o EL students whose “First Year in U.S. School” indicator is “Yes” do not require a RNVTA for ELA/L since the ELA/L exemption is captured by this indicator. 3) How do I view the PARCC Assessment Correction Report?
