Canvas: If you’re not sure which assessments are done in each grade, please see the Assessment Matrix on Canvas. If you need help accessing this, tell Brett.
X2:
Please enter all your data on X2. For the BAS:
For every student you tested, please put their instructional BAS score in X2.
If you happen to also find a student’s independent score, please enter that in X2 as well.
If a student moves from independent to hard (e.g. Level C is independent but Level D is hard), please put the independent level, accuracy, and comprehension score in both the independent and instructional columns.
Ceiling for BAS testing: District direction for the rest of this year is "do not go beyond the end-of-year level for the next grade level.” For Example: In grade 1, you should not exceed level "M" (last level in Grade 2). If you have any question, please ask Brett.

Students must complete this assessment prior to continuing any online instruction. Two standards are being assessed in each grade level and iReady expects this should take students approximately 30 minutes.

As an added incentive, the class that brings in the most each month will earn 15 minutes of extra recess on the new playground!
