As I understand, teachers received new computers to administer the CAASPP. I started just a few weeks ago and have not received a new computer. Should I reach out to someone?
Thank you!

If you need a new computer please reach out to your home school. Teacher computers do not need a special setting, but if your computer needs to be updated, please contact home school administrator.

Will we have those chrome books by the time we're supposed to start testing?

Student chromebooks are being distributed by home schools as they arrive to our district.

# data[].attributes.body
What do we do for those students that will not turn on their camera. They know that all year it has not been a requirement.

It is a requirement for testing. They cannot get in the test without turning it on. They will not be able to test without camera. We will be sending out district emails and auto dialers.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, the DFA will be electronic. Right now it is a link on the new educator's website. However, we will work to make it a digital PDF for teachers.

# data[].attributes.body
Have teachers always only been able to test 20 students at a time?

No. The 20 student recommendation is new this year for remote testing.

# data[].attributes.body
Since students can't get onto Google Classroom while they're in a secure session, how can we give them directions to get started?  I understand we could post a schedule with session ID's but even with this, I feel like we may have several students who don't log in.

Teachers need to have a google meet with students prior to testing to read the directions for administration and review expectations. Teachers can then leave the google meet open in the event students are having trouble logging in to the test.

# data[].attributes.body
So we have to have tabs open for each of our school sites?

Yes, please judge your own ability to monitor the students and plan the number of schools and students accordingly. Unfortunately, students from different schools cannot be in the same testing session.

# data[].attributes.body
Do we have to use the computer given to us by the district or can we use our personal computer?

You can administer from your personal computer. However, if issues arise with cameras, testing, etc. it is only possible for technology services to problem solve if you are using a district device.

# data[].attributes.body
This is my first time testing, where do I get the SSID #s?

SSID numbers are the state student ID numbers (longer and different than our RUSD student ID numbers). Parents can access on the parent portal in Aeries, some schools are mailing them home, some schools are scheduling pick ups. You can also share with students privately. These are secure items and must not be shared in public. You can view student SSID numbers in Aeries, as their teacher.

Please understand how much you can monitor. If you are not comfortable monitoring multiple tabs, please extend your testing times and test students as you are comfortable. Some teachers have only 1 or 2 students from some schools, so they would only have one - two students per tab. Please do only what you feel you can monitor.

Do parents still have a right to ask for a waiver for state tests?

Yes, parents can "opt out" of testing. Please refer that parent to either Nachelle Goar, Charles Hyde, or their home school administrator to opt out. We want to encourage all students to test.
