5 PARCC PARCC will be administered as follows: ELA/L and Mathematics: Students in Grades 3-8 LEP students who are First Year in U.S. School are exempt from ELA/L Number of units and unit times are the same as in See page 10 of the PARCC Spring Coordinator Manual: PARCC Test Window: Up to 30 consecutive school days March 6, 2017 (earliest start date) - April 28, 2017 (latest end date) No PARCC Fall Block since SAT will be given in grade 11. ISBE Contact for PARCC: Jim Palmer jpalmer@isbe.net 5

6 PARCC (SIS Information) The following PARCC information is captured via SIS and sent to Pearson for all schools: PARCC Test Window (available now!) PARCC Test Format (available now!) PARCC Pre-ID Student Test Details (available now!) 6

7 PARCC (Test Window in SIS) Districts must identify for each school a Start Date that is no earlier than March 6, 2017, and an End Date that is no later than April 28, Districts must identify the test window in SIS no later than Friday, January 20, Test window will be communicated to PAN to derive shipping dates for paper materials, including manuals. After testing is completed, districts should adjust the test window End Date in SIS if testing was completed sooner than anticipated. 7

8 PARCC (Test Format in SIS) Initially populated for all schools/grades to Online Adjustments to Paper may be made as needed Districts must identify paper format in SIS no later than Friday, January 20, 2017, for pre-id labels and automatic paper test materials ordering. Schools should move toward 100% Online Schools selecting all Paper or increasing Paper as compared to will be contacted to determine what support may be necessary to transition to Online. 8

9 PARCC (Pre-ID in SIS) Students enrolled in grades 3-8 are automatically included in the PARCC Pre-ID file with the corresponding PARCC grade-based Test Code for ELA/L and mathematics (e.g., ELA08 and MAT08). Note: PARCC grade-based Test Codes can be edited to a PARCC course-based Test Code as applicable (e.g., MAT08 can be replaced by ALG01). Exception: All students in grades 4-8 and 11 are automatically included in the DLM-AA Pre-ID file in SIS if the following are true: Student s most recent assessment record was IAA or DLM-AA and Student s IEP indicator is Yes Note: Any grade 3 student must be manually moved from the PARCC Pre-ID file to the DLM-AA Pre-ID file, when applicable. 9

10 Private School Students in SIS Pre-ID File (Applies to PARCC, DLM-AA, and SAT) Private School Students who are enrolled in SIS at a tested grade will be included in the PARCC Pre-ID file but should test only if they are receiving instruction in the tested content areas.
