[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm an APS teacher.  The county doesn't tell us when the assessment reports will be uploaded. They just do it and then it's usually announced in a Friday schooltalk or superintendent email.  The DIBELS window ended on Oct. 7 so that is when schools needed to be finished administering.  Same for Math Inventory.  We are not sending home the reports ahead of time but we are sharing if the student performed on or above grade level generally. If the student was below grade level benchmarks we discuss in more detail about the specific skill or task that was below and what we are doing about it. [/quote]

Thanks for this info. But why on earth not share the reports with parents as soon as possible? If anyone deserves details about their kid’s performance, it’s the parents. [/quote]

APS teacher again. I don’t know. We do discuss the results. We are just following what APS tells us to do.[/quote]

+1.This is why I was advocating on another thread to move parent conferences to the 2 days before Thanksgiving.  They don’t always let us have access to the assessment data and the window for some students doesn’t even close until Nov. 10 or 11. Anne Arundel has done it that way for years (conferences before Thanksgiving) and I see it as a win for all.  If you are going out of town, schedule an afternoon/morning conference the week before Thanksgiving and then hold conferences on Monday, have Tuesday as a flex/professional work day.  We would have data the county has given back to us in the “proper” format and lots more to talk about.
