Important end-of-year information and resources

Star Assessments

1. Some Star reports are designed to be used during the current school year. After students have finished their last Star Assessments for the 2021-2022 school year, we suggest running the reports listed here.
2.  View the Star Toolkit (page 8) for end-of-year reporting advice.

Star CBM

1.  Learn about Star CBM Data and review end-of-year progress
2.  Save a PDF or screen capture of the screening comparison tab or the last goal progress graph for students if needed since these views can’t be accessed for previous school years.
3.  Consider how you’ll use new options this fall, like Star CBM Lectura, additional RAN measures, and skill recommendations.

Freckle

1. Grade level increases
   This year, we will not be automatically increasing student grade levels. We do have a “bulk change grade level” feature on the rosters page. We’ll remind teachers about this feature closer to back-to-school.
2. Clearing data/resetting levels
   We don’t clear or reset any student data. Students will not need to retake pretests and will not lose any coins, etc. If desired, teachers can select to reset math/ELA levels from the Levels reports.
3. Clearing out assignments
   Assignments created before a cut-off date in the 2021/2022 school year will be cleared automatically during the summer prior to back-to-school. Communications will be sent closer to the summer about the exact cut-off date when the clear out will occur.
4. Admin Dashboard filters
   The filters on the administrator dashboard default to the most recent July 1 through today. This means that on July 2, they will show the “upcoming school year.” It will appear blank because students will not have practiced. However, users can simply change the filters to view past data.

Schoolzilla

1. Tips for setting roster visibility for summer and rollover dates can be found here.
2. What will Schoolzilla Admins, School Leaders, and Teachers see in Schoolzilla over summer?
3. Want to prepare your Schoolzilla Dashboards for 2022-23? Check out the Summer Rollover Checklist.

myON

1. If you are a Clever partner, pause your data feed.
2. Some myON reports are not designed to be run for previous school years. We suggest running reports before the new school year start date based on the type of data your school needs.
3. The myON school year automatically rolls over each year on the School Year Start Date. By default, July 1st is the roll over date for all districts unless customized by District Administrators.
4. Provide families insights and tips for reading in myON with children of any age during the summer.

myIGDIs

1. Review the condition of your myIGDIs kits and order additional Record Forms or replacement/additional kits in preparation for next year.
2. Watch for an email in mid to late July with important information about upgrading your iPad application for the 2022-23 school year.
3.  Consider exporting your data if you would like to be able to manipulate your data after the school year rolls over on August 15. Review the article on Rolling Over School Year Data and Archiving for more information.
4.  Give parents some ideas for learning activities to prepare for kindergarten they can use over the summer with their child.

Accelerated Reader

1. Review the Record Book & Goals (for K-2) or run Goals Met Report (grades 3+) before the school year ends. These reports will help you gain insights and celebrate wins as you head into summer.
2.  Reading Snapshots are a great way to share this school year’s reading achievements for the district, school, grade, or class level. You can create Reading Snapshots in a couple of clicks and share them on your website.
