There have been changes to i-Ready administrator access. Previous iSM accounts and other administrator accounts, including those for State and District Assessment Leaders, are not currently active. We are exploring possible solutions and will share more information as soon as it becomes available.
Principals, assistant principals, and RSP teachers should currently have administrator access.
Principals and assistant principals can reset or assign a new Inform assessment at their site. If a teacher requests that an assessment be reset or reassigned, please speak with the teacher briefly to understand the reason for the retake. Then, follow these steps.

All SSP facilitators will be trained about the updates at their SSP facilitator meeting on 9/1. All sites will deliver the site training to their staff during a September staff meeting. If you go into SIRAS now to open SSP meetings, you will see the updated forms, but please wait to send them to staff until training has been completed.

Volunteers Reminder
Volunteer Category 2’s have six weeks to complete their mandated reporter training. A volunteer must have their Live Scan results and a current TB test in order to start, but can begin volunteering before completing the mandatory training. We are working on ways to ensure that all volunteers complete their training in a timely manner.
