New. Next, select the Test Administration, the test, and the room you would like to add the student in and click submit.

-Accommodation History – New Students Only (within an alert category)
For students who are new to your campus, you have the ability to pull student accommodations and test versions if those students were in your district the previous year. This feature will only be accessible to districts that have used TestHound previously. To begin the process of pulling student accommodations, click Accommodation Histories above the student table.
A new screen will appear with text describing the process of pulling student accommodations and test versions. You may choose to either:
Preview the list of students that will be affected
Cancel and individually enter student accommodations
Proceed and pull students' accommodations without previewing the data
If you select Preview from the Accommodations Histories screen, a list of students who will be affected is displayed. The last two columns of the table will identify whether the student has accommodations history.
To pull the student's accommodations, click Submit.
Student schedule:
-The student schedule cannot be altered but will show you the latest version of the schedule pulled from the district SMS
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.
