USBE staff walk through testing windows, rostering and group creation in ALO
Summary
Jared and Maureen covered how to set and save ALO district testing windows (required before rostering), how UTRACS nightly uploads create class rosters, and how districts should use groups to grant paraprofessionals or special‑ed teachers scoped access without adding classes manually.
Jared explained that district account managers must set school year start/end dates and testing windows in ALO before teachers can roster or administer benchmarks; he noted the dates must be saved and that ALO allows a four‑week window in the interface while the state testing window can be longer so long as it falls within board‑rule dates.
Maureen covered rostering mechanics: classes, students and classroom teachers are created by the nightly UTRACS upload to ALO and districts should not manually change student records in ALO because doing so can cause lost results or duplicate accounts. She demonstrated how to readd and 'protect' non‑teaching staff accounts so they do not drop off in nightly uploads and recommended naming conventions when creating groups for paraprofessionals and special‑ed teachers.
