When you finish entering scores (Reports - Additional Reports - ElemAssessment Scores) and press the finalize button, you can view a report immediately (Reports - Additional Reports - ElemAssessment Report). The next school day, the scores will be available for display in Data Dashboard.

If you have just entered your scores, eSIS is immediately available for you to view in reports (Reports - Additional Reports - Elem Assessment Report). Directions for printing can also be found on the eSIS / Data Dashboard (DDS) page. For further support, contact the Elementary TOSAs at eTOSAs@nsd.org.

It will take up to 24 hours from the time you finalize your scores in eSIS for the data to display up in Data Dashboard.

To make a change after finalizing scores in eSIS, return to the Elem Assessment Scores page (Reports - Additional Reports - Elem Assessment Scores). Select the assessment (and grade level, if necessary). Enter only the scores you want to change . You will still need to save and finalize to make the scores permanent. Remember - you can view this data in eSIS reports immediately and in up to 24 hours it will display in Data Dashboard.

The ELA, Math Benchmark, and Math Inventory tests assess knowledge at grade level standard. Because only grade level material is on the tests, the score alone is not sufficient data to determine if a student is performing above standard, (scoring 4). 

We hesitate to suggest that this scale would easily transfer to report cards because report card grades are based on multiple pieces of data. The cut scores were determined through a process with consideration of several factors (i.e. analyzation of patterns created by the cut scores across several schools, comparison with MSP data for the same classrooms, etc.). 

Additionally, Data Dashboard (DDS) and its leveling system reflect the score on a specific test of grade level standards - not an overall performance for a student or an indicator of above standard performance (a score of 4). 

According to the report card, a 4 is "exceeding standard." While we do not have this fully defined for NSD, OSPI has performance level descriptors (PLDs) for grades 3-8 available. www.k12.wa.us [Note that the State included descriptors for Basic (2), Proficient (3) and Advanced (4) that match what is assessed on the MSP. At this time, OSPI has not provided PLDs for grades K-2.]
