CAASPP: Deadline Approaching to Complete Interim Assessment Hand Scoring

CAASPP email update, June 14, 2022.

Dear LEA CAASPP Coordinator or LEA ELPAC Coordinator:

In preparation for the 2022–23 school year, the Smarter Balanced Interim Assessments and related systems will experience downtime from Friday, July 29, 2022, at 5 p.m. to Tuesday, August 2, 2022, at 8 a.m. During this downtime, student responses will be cleared from the Interim Assessment Hand Scoring System (IAHSS) and will no longer be available for hand scoring.

To ensure that student results from all completed 2021–22 interim assessments appear in the California Educator Reporting System (CERS), all outstanding hand scoring must be completed in the IAHSS prior to the system downtime on July 29, 2022.

Hand scoring for the interim assessments is a local responsibility. Please note that for Interim Comprehensive Assessments, hand scoring for both parts of the test—the computer-based test and the performance task—must be completed and submitted to generate results in CERS.

Please direct any questions about the content of this email to your LEA's assigned LEA Success Agent , or visit the California Outreach web page for other support options.

Sincerely,

California Outreach Team
