If Benchmark Windows are not set within the mCLASS System, teachers may not be able to assess within your designated window. Please fill out this form by July 10, 2024 so that your window is set correctly.
When selecting your benchmark windows in the fields below, please ensure that the assessment dates comply with the following guidelines:
Beginning of year (BOY) - ELAT students need to be assessed within the first 30 calendar days of school. Kindergarten consideration: Through a provision in HB15-1323 you may choose to use up to 60 calendar days for initial benchmarking. However, we would encourage districts to continue with best practice by benchmarking and providing support early in the year, within the first 30 days. Completion of your READ BOY assessment within the 60 days will inform the literacy component of your readiness assessment.
Middle of Year (MOY) - Select a two-week window that falls within November 27th – December 22nd OR January 3rd – 26th. (Your dates need to be prior to the holiday break OR after the holiday break.)
End of Year (EOY) - Select a two-week window that falls within April 22th – May 17th.
