ISIP Letter for Parent Conferences:
Please click HERE to access the mandatory ISIP letter for parent conferences. This letter must be edited with correct campus information before printing. Two copies of the letter will be completed for each student: one to be sent home with parents and one to be signed and put in the student’s cumulative folder. You have the option to order these on carbon paper from the print shop if you feel this would be helpful.
ISIP Scores:
Istation is aware that scores are not showing up immediately for all students. They suggest that teachers allow the system 24 hours for ISIP scores to show. If the scores do not appear after 24 hours, the teacher should email support@istation.com. The email needs to include: first and last name of student, along with the student ID and which score isn’t showing up. An on-demand assessment is not recommended in this situation.MATH
