ppp2017 Device Purchasing 
Personal Purchase Program 
is Here!
 
As part of the REMC Device Purchasing Bid, several vendors included "value-adds" with their bids, one of which is a Personal Purchase Program. These programs allow you to get great deals on devices, some of which are the exact same as awarded on the bid, for personal use! In most cases, the devices are the same price as on the bid, however, you will have to pay sales tax.

This program is open to staff, students, and families. Please feel free to distribute the Personal Purchase Program Flyer which contains information on accessing the purchase information for each vendor that is offering this program.

Please email [email protected] if you have any questions about the program.

After Testing 

Chapter 3: After the M-STEP Test Administration, the final chapter of the three-part 2017 M-STEP Test Administration Trainings, is now available on the M-STEP web page ( www. michigan.gov/mstep). It is posted under the What's New and Professional Development sections of the web page. Chapter 3 discusses tasks that need to be done after the M-STEP administration, such as the disposition of test materials; Accountable Students and Test Verification windows (including the Verification of Enrollment and Demographics window, Verification of Answer Documents window, and Verification of Not Tested window); and information about the Preliminary and Final reports. Be sure to use this resource as you complete after-testing tasks.
