DASL Update
As we approach the end of the year and student’s test scores begin to return from assessment vendors, here are some tips to make uploading go smoother:

• SIS-Assessment-Assessment Import is the screen you use to upload files received from vendors into DASL/StudentInformation
• The FY23 Period A Assessment Checklist document found under ? Icon is a great resource! On page 2 it provides you what file layout is required from the vendor (example: .csv, .txt, etc.) It also provides how to enter Score Not Reported Reasons, and more!
• Remember that after you upload a file from a vendor you will want to review the View Import Management screen (SIS > Assessment > Assessment Import Management). Pay close attention to the Unmatched Records tab as some records might not get matched to a student in SI. You can use the magnifying glass to attempt to match the student using different spelling, SSID, etc. Students on the Unmatched tab that do not get matched will not get their scores uploaded and reported to ODE.
• Currently, the ACT and the OELPS import requires adjustment to the headers before importing. See our Know How tips on our website!
• Be cautious when importing the ACT and the SAT results. The process does not overwrite records already loaded and they can create a duplicate record with the day after the original record as the date.

EMIS Update:
Principals and Support teams have moved on to Roster Verification Phase 3 – Review and Approval

1. Districts completed Phase 2 of Roster Verification on May 2. Phase 2 was the phase teachers confirmed which students they taught, during what period of instruction, and for what percent of instructional responsibility.

During this phase, principals and the support team ensure that all teachers have completed roster verification representing the most accurate summary of instructional responsibility for students at the school throughout the school year with minimal errors or omissions.
