Request for Testing Input Screen • At the top of the screen, please verify that you have the correct student. • This is very important, as assessors have tested the wrong student in the past.

General Data Input • The year defaults to the current school year. • After spring break, this screen to be turned off to give the assessors time to test the students before the end of the school year. • If Spanish is chosen for the test language, the program will default the assessor to Margaret Ruiz, KISD’s only bilingual assessor. • Click on ARD or 504 as appropriate.

Vision and Hearing • Vision and hearing tests should be completed before you request testing. • A student should have passed both hearing and vision tests, or have a doctor’s note stating that it is okay to continue testing the student. • All dates default to today’s date, and should be changed to reflect the actual date of the test.
