LAS Links Update
Greetings!
1. Online Enrollment (a.k.a. Ordering Materials)
Just a reminder…this year we will use Form A, and the window for ordering additional materials is:
November 26 – November 30
Online enrollment serves two purposes:
1) To order additional materials
2) To indicate the number of students you expect to participate in the Spring
2008 LAS Links test administration
Be sure to go online and enter information, even if you do not expect students to participate in the assessment—there is a place to indicate “non-participating” on the site.
You should have received a memo with directions for Online Enrollment. A link to the Online Enrollment (Ordering) User’s Guide is posted on the IDOE LAS Links homepage at http://www.doe.in.gov/lmmp/LAS_links.html for your convenience.
If you have any questions regarding the Online Enrollment site, please contact the CTB/Indiana Help Desk at 800-282-1132.
2. Barcode File
For Spring 2008, LAS Links student information will be printed on Barcode Labels for your convenience. The STN Application Center will have a “draft” file for you to review and update prior to printing barcode labels. (Talk with your “data person” if you are not the one who uploads ISTEP+ data for barcode labels.)
The window for you to update the file is
December 3 – December 14 (at 4:00 p.m. EST)
Note: If you do not make updates to the file, you will need to “bubble” the information on students’ tests.
3. Spring 2008 Testing Window
The LAS Links testing window is
February 1 – March 14
4. January Workshops
You can now register for one of the LAS Links Pretest Workshops to be held in January. See dates and details at the very bottom of this email message. Be sure to register online by January 5, 2008.
5. LAS Links ListServ
An important note about this ListServ….
The LAS Links ListServ was created to provide each corporation LAS Links Test Coordinator with updates regarding the LAS Links assessment. The ListServ is not open to additional subscribers. However, you are welcome to forward part (or all) of the information to other staff members in your school corporation as you deem appropriate. Thank you for helping other staff members understand that we cannot add them to the ListServ.
