Score reports are on track for timely delivery, with Utah educators actively participating in the summer standard setting process. This initiative aims to enhance the assessment framework, ensuring that students are exited from programs correctly. Attendees were reassured that comprehensive guidance will be provided, including concordance tables and crosswalks, to facilitate this transition.

During the meeting, officials emphasized the importance of staying informed through Assessment Directors (AD) memos and attending relevant meetings. They urged participants to pay close attention to updates to ensure accurate student exits.

Additionally, reminders were issued regarding the screening process. As many districts approach the 30-day mark since the school year began, it was noted that the timeline for screening will shift to a 10-day window. Participants were encouraged to update their Student Information Systems (SIS) promptly to ensure that screener data is accurately collected and reflected in the data gateway.

In Utah, students scoring below 5 on the screener qualify for services, while those scoring 5 or higher are considered proficient. This data is crucial for determining the support needed for students as the school year progresses.
