Student Test History (for districts that have purchased Performance Tracker TX Only):

If your district subscribes to Performance Tracker, a 3-8 or EOC table will be displayed with the student's test history based on STAAR files uploaded by the DTC. Column headings will be color-coded based on whether the student Met Std (green), Std Not Met (red), Exclusion (blue) or if the student did not have a score code of "S" the cell with the student data will now reflect the score code that was assigned to the student (gray). For instance, a student with a score code of "A" will have SC-A displayed, or a score code of "O" will be displayed as SC-O.

The accommodations pull is a tool meant to facilitate the transfer of accommodations from one campus to another campus within the same district.  This tool is useful when your district has not subscribed to Auto Pilot.

When you log in to TestHound, you will click on Students->Accommodation Histories.

This will bring you to a list of all students at your campus that have accommodation histories.

Next, you can click on a student’s name, and the campuses where they currently have accommodation history files will appear. 

Click “View” on the line of the most recent campus, choose to fill in “Include Student Notes” if you wish, then “Pull”.  The student’s most recent accommodations will be pulled into your campus. 

The list will shrink as you progress, allowing you to check each student’s accommodations individually as you go.  This best practice assures that all incoming students start the year with the correct accommodations in place and allows you to be aware of any needs those students may have as early as possible.

To manually enter accommodations for students, start by clicking on the triangle next to the student's name.

Choose the appropriate subject for the accommodations from the subject dropdown menu.

Click in the box next to the appropriate accommodation specific to the student. The screen will flash indicating the accommodation change has been saved.

Notes maybe be entered in the "notes" box at the top of the accommodation page.

If it is necessary to reset accommodations for the student, you may do so by clicking the "reset all" box and choosing the appropriate selections, and submitting.

Accommodations for each subject must be entered in the appropriate subject from the dropdown.

You have access to the demographic information associated with the students on your campus.  This is the data that TestHound is receiving for your district and is utilized when processing past performance data, registration files, and SDR files at the district level. 

As a campus user, you can verify this demographic data for students so that you can check their registration associations directly in TestHound.  The bar above each code option has an info icon that will show you what each field means in reference to the registration options.
