SCHOOL LEVEL MATERIALS TO BE DESTROYED (IMPORTANT TEACHER INFORMATION)

The first Alternate K-PREP testing window will end December 15. All school level Attainment Tasks (including VI and science materials) should be returned to the DAC, BAC, DoSE or district level personnel who provided the tasks to you for assessment. Once the school level tasks are in the hands of the district level personnel in charge of the Attainment Tasks, they should be destroyed. This should also include any copies of the tasks made and shared with teachers. Binders should be kept for use in the spring. However, all school level materials inside those binders will need to be destroyed.

DISTRICT LEVEL MATERIALS RETAINED (IMPORTANT DAC/DISTRICT LEVEL INFORMATION)

District level Attainment Tasks for window 1 should be kept at the district office. These materials will be required if a make-up test is to be administered. No district level materials should be destroyed until Test Window 2 has been completed in the spring.
The Office of Assessment and Accountability (OAA) is requesting each district to confirm via e-mail to Kevin O’Hair that you have received and destroyed all school level materials for the first Alternate K-PREP testing window by January 31. /
