Rules for editing an existing school network screening window:
- School network screening windows must fall within the current school year.
- School network screening windows cannot overlap with any other school network or school screening window.
- A school network screening window must be at least 1 day long and can be as long as the entire school year.
- School network screening windows are used by school network level administrators and school network staff to view assessment data at the school network level in Schoozilla and Renaissance Analytics. A school network screening window can include all schools in the school network or a specific subset of schools. Note: School network screening windows are not used in Renaissance reports; the "school network screening windows" appearing on Renaissance reports are actually school screening windows that are tied to the school network.
Note: A small number of past school years do not have schools assigned to school network screening windows. In those cases, all student test scores will be shown in Schoolzilla. If you are working in one of those school years, you will see the following reminder:
These school network windows can still be edited, but schools cannot be assigned to them.
On the Edit Screening Dates page, you can change the following information for an existing school network screening window:
- School Network Window Name: Enter a new, unique name for the screening window in the School Network Window Name field.
- Date Range: Select new start and/or end dates for the window. You can either type the range in the Date Range field or select the icon on the right side of the field to open a pop-up calendar where you can select the dates (select Apply on the calendar when you are done).
If any of the listed schools (see the next step) have dates that fall outside the new dates, you will see a warning and you will not be able to change the Date Range. If this happens, you need to either (a) edit the dates for the school so they fall inside the new range of dates for the school network window, or (b) uncheck the school so the date range change won't affect it.
If you change the date range, select Apply to All Selected Schools to the right of the Date Range field to update the information for all checked schools.
- Schools: Tick schools that you want to be included in the school network screening window you are editing; un-tick schools you want excluded (use the Select All/None box at the top of the list to tick/un-tick all the schools at once). If you want to find a specific school, enter its name in the field above the list.
- Not every school in the school network screening window will need to use the same dates. You can give a school its own dates by entering them in the date field at the end of the row (the same way you did for the Date Range field earlier).
- Although school administrators cannot edit school network screening windows, they can edit the dates here for their own school.
In the example above, the date range for the school network screening window is 1/9–30/9. The school network wants to use different testing dates for the different school levels, so they have been changed (but still fall within the overall date range): Western River School's test window is from 1/9–10/9, North Heights School's test window is 10/9–20/9, and the two primary schools' test window is from 20/9–30/9. If schools use their own unique date ranges within a school network screening window, those ranges will all have the same name; in reports using these ranges, the dates they cover will be added to the end of the name so you can tell them apart..
When determining whether a test falls within a testing window or outside a testing window, the dates for the individual schools are used, not the overall school network screening window. - Select Save Changes. You can also delete a checked screening window by selecting Delete in the lower-right corner .
