Hello CAHSEE Site Test Coordinators,
 
Yesterday at the Nuts & Bolts meeting someone asked if the bubble for “IEP” or “Section 504 Plan” in Box 13a must be hand-grid on the answer document.  The answer is YES- you must hand-grid whether the student has an IEP or 504.  
 
Please contact me if you have additional questions.

Thank you.

Those of you who attended the today's CAHSEE Nuts & Bolts meeting:  Attached are the "job aids" to assist in your Site Coordinator training for the March administration.
 
For those of you who didn't attend today's Nuts & Bolts session:  
-  I will be assisting Erin through the CAHSEE & STAR testing windows.

   >  incorrect Score Codes
   >  incorrect demographic information
   >  Class of 2010 students absent for the March administration moving before the May administration
   >  etc.

REMEMBER:
-  Test Security is your primary responsibility.

  >  ALL CAPA students
   >  ALL other Special Ed Students

   >  ALL students absent either or both days
   >  ALL students who refused to enter the testing area &/or refused to answer any questions
