Two critical windows for the SAT Suite Implementation opening:
|
|
|
|
The window for requesting State Allowed Accommodations (SAAs) is currently open. MDE and the College Board recommends the use of SAAs as the best practice for 8
th grade students needing accommodations. We recommend that schools serving 8
th grade students ensure that they have a Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) coordinator in place by fall 2019.
Once an SSD coordinator is approved, schools can access the College Board Online SSD system and request College Board accommodations for students. The
deadline to apply for all accommodations is February 19, 2019. Questions about the SAA process can be directed to the College Board Executive Director for Michigan K12 Services, Theodore Gardella at
tgardella@collegeboard.org.

The window for the Michigan Pre-ID process in the secure site is now open. The Pre-ID process is very important – when schools carefully execute the Pre-ID process, the materials order and student labels accuracy increases.
This window closes on February 13, 2019.
Following the Pre-ID process will make the answer sheet verification process following the test much more accurate as well. The December 13 Spotlight (
linked here) has excellent information on the Pre-ID process. The secure site training and resource materials page (
linked here) has more information on the Pre-ID process.
