Additional Reference: PSSR-250506
(FA) Student Assessment Record: Version 4.0
These changes are made to the (FA) Student Assessment Record:

  • New selection rules are added to select assessments that align with the report start and end dates. The report no longer includes assessments from outside the report start and end dates for collections other than graduate reporting. Graduate reporting still includes all tests related to graduation regardless of the test date. Users should expect to see a drop in the number of records in this report.
  • Functionality was added for sub-districting to include assessment records that fall within a student's enrollment dates.
  • (GY) CTE Technical Assessment records are added to the Graduate (G) reporting period.
PSSR-256548FA Tab-Update

Additional Reference: PSSR-254885PSSR-261765PSSR-261780
These changes are made to the State/Province-OH page FA tab:

  • The grade level at the time of the test is displayed on the FA tab.
  • The page now displays all columns when filtering to a specific test. The page no longer omits a column for some tests.
  • Assessment Area CA02 (GW Test Type) is changed from obsolete to valid based on an Ohio Department of Education change.
  • The GX Test Type label is updated to match the Ohio Department of Education description. The label now reads (GX) High School Alternate Assessment (also used for Ohio Graduation Test).
PSSR-258999Update FA Import - Add Import for ACT Roster View (.csv) File

You can now import ACT results from a .csv file. This file is available from the ACT vendor. For best results, add these fields to the ACT Roster View download:

  • Gender
  • Grade
  • State ID
    When downloading, the file should only be opened in a text editor to preserve formatting. Opening the file in a spreadsheet can cause changes to the data, which causes the import to fail. The Roster View file can contain both state and national test results, it does not differentiate between the two administrations. If a student takes both the state and national tests in the same month, then both records are imported. Users need to add the test day to the FA record to avoid errors in state reporting. Any record that already exists in PowerSchool is ignored. You can still use the .txt file format for state results, if desired.
