Registration File Elements
New to Texas: There is a single field that appears on each of the assessment tabs. This field applies to the student for all assessments. If selected on one tab, it appears selected on the two other tabs.
STAAR Alternate 2: There is a single field that applies to all STAAR 3-8 subjects.
Above Grade: Each subject has a separate field for students testing above grade level.
Interim Grade: Each subject also has a separate field to designate an alternate/additional grade level for the interim assessments. Once registered for STAAR 3-8, Cambium defaults students as eligible for interim assessments for their enrolled grade. If the student will test at a different grade level, select the appropriate value.
Attributes File Elements
The attributes (accommodations) available for each subject are listed in the Attributes column.
Most attributes apply to all subjects, but some such as Calculator apply only to Math and Science.
