Adding or Editing Screening Dates

STAR Reading uses three default screening dates for Screening Reports and Student Progress Monitoring Reports:

• Fall (September 1–September 15)
• Winter (January 1–January 15)
• Spring (May 1–May 15)

These dates can be edited, and more screening dates can be added, up to a maximum of 10 for the school year.

1. Click STAR Reading on the Home page, then click Screening, Progress Monitoring & Intervention.
   
   
2. Select a school from the School drop-down list . Then, click View Screening Dates in the grey sidebar .
   
   
3. On the Edit Screening Dates page, you can make the following changes:
   
   
   
   
   • School network administrators and school network staff can choose All Schools from the School drop-down list to set the same screening dates for all schools in the school network at the same time.
     
     

     The following restrictions apply to editing and creating screening dates:

     • Screening dates cannot overlap.
     • Screening dates cannot range over more than 30 calendar days. It is best if the range falls within a single calendar month.
     • The names of screening dates cannot exceed 35 characters.

   • To change the name of an existing screening date, delete the current name and type in a new name.
   • To change the dates, click the Start Testing date and/or End Testing date for an existing screening date and type in new dates. You can also click the calendar buttons next to these fields to choose dates.
   • To add a new screening date, click Add Screening Dates . A new row will appear in the table; add the information you want as described above. Once the limit of 10 screening dates has been reached, the Add Screening Dates link will not be available.
   • To remove a screening date, click Remove at the end of a row for a screening date . It is possible to remove all of the screening dates (including the three defaults), but if you remove all of them, you will be unable to create a Screening Report.
4. Click Save to save your changes. The screening dates will automatically rearrange themselves by calendar date.
