MiSiS Announcements:

 

English Learner

NEW: The i-Ready ELA assessment data for students in grades 3-12 will be used by various English Learner processes and reports. This assessment is considered a Basic Skills Assessment that has replaced the Reading Inventory (RI) and DIBELS 8 for students in grades 3-5. The RFEP Monitoring Roster, RFEP Monitoring Letter, and EL Monitoring Roster screens have been enhanced to display the i-Ready ELA data for qualifying students. Students in grades K-2 will continue to display DIBELS 8 assessment data. The Academic Progress column in the RFEP Monitoring Roster and EL Monitoring Roster screens will now consider the i-Ready ELA assessment to determine academic progress. The updated Generate and Print the RFEP Monitoring Letter and Generate and Print the RFEP Monitoring Roster job aids are available on the MiSiS website.
