Request an Assessment Report

During a conference, the Student Support Team may decide that a student's evaluation must also include an assessment. To proceed with an assessment, consent must be granted by parents, and a formal request must be made to an assessor.

 

NOTE: The Evaluation Worksheet (in Evaluation Status) must be completed and Assessment Needed set to Yes.

 

To request an Assessment Report, do the following:

 

  1. Search for a student and select the appropriate Referral.

  2. Expand DEFINE NEEDS by selecting the + sign.

  3. Under Evaluation Type, expand the appropriate document (Initial or Reevaluation).

  4. Highlight the appropriate Prior Written Notice. The Actions menu will change.

  5. Select Request Assessment from the menu. The Request Assessment window will open.

  6. For Assessor, use the drop-down menu to select the team member to whom you are sending a request.

  7. For Due Date, enter the deadline for the assessment report in MMDDYY format. (Tips for entering dates.)

  8. For Assessment Type, use the drop-down menu to select the assessment you are asking the assessor to provide (e.g., academic, behavior, cognitive, etc.). You can select only one type per request. If an individual must provide assessments for multiple types, you must create separate requests for each type.

  9. For additional requests, click Save & Next. Otherwise, click Save.

  10. Your request is recorded in eCSSS. However, the person will not receive the request until you communicate the request. eCSSS makes this communication convenient by providing an e-mail function.

  11. The E-mail button is now displayed on the bottom left of the window. Click E-mail, and the Send E-mail window will open.

  12. The To field defaults to assessor. You may type additional e-mail addresses into the field or use the Address ... button to find an e-mail address. Multiple e-mail addresses must be separated by commas.

  13. If appropriate, enter e-mail addresses into the cc field.

  14. In the large text field, type a message requesting an Assessment Report to the team member.  

  15. Click Send.  

  16. Click Close. You may repeat this process to send requests to other team members.
