Deactivating and Reactivating Tests

  • Updated

Who can do this with default user permissions?

District Level Administrators, District Staff, School Level Administrators

Although you cannot permanently delete a Star Early Literacy Spanish test from a student's test record, you can deactivate a test. For example, if a student logged in with the wrong user name and took a test, that test should be deactivated so it will not be included in the other student's test history.

Deactivating a test removes the test-taking data and the test results from any reports or calculations for that student. If necessary, a deactivated test can be reactivated at a later time.

Deactivated tests will not be used when calculating SGPs. If a student has a test deactivated, and that test had been used to calculate the student's SGP, that student's SGP will be recalculated approximately 5–10 minutes after the test deactivation.

Only tests taken during the current school year can be deactivated or reactivated.

  1. Log in to Renaissance.
  2. On the Home page:
    • Renaissance Next: Select Star under “My Apps” in the left-hand sidebar; then select Star Spanish in the sidebar.
    • Legacy Mode: Select Star Spanish.
  3. In the drop-down list, select Record Book. 

  4. Use the drop-down lists in the upper-left corner of the Record Book to select the subject (select Reading to see Star Early Literacy Spanish assessments), the school the student is in, and the class or group for the student is in. Note that school administrators who are only assigned to one school will not need to select a school.

    The Subject, School, and Class or Group drop-down lists.
  5. In the table at the bottom of the page, select the student's name. This will open the Student Details page for that student, where you will see a list of all of the student's reading assessments.
  6. In the row for the test you want to deactivate or reactivate, use the drop-down list in the Actions column. In the confirmation message that opens, select Deactivate Assessment or Reactivate Assessment, whichever is appropriate.

    In the example on the left, Deactivate has been selected from the drop-down list, and the Deactivate Assessment pop-up window is open. The name of the student, the assessment, the date taken, and score are all shown; the Deactivate Assessment and Cancel buttons are at the bottom. In the example on the right, Reactivate has been selected from the drop-down list, and the Reactivate Assessment pop-up window is open. The name of the student, the assessment, the date taken, and score are all shown; the Reactivate Assessment and Cancel buttons are at the bottom.

Test-taking data for a deactivated test is removed and the test results will not be used for any reports or calculations for the student.

Test-taking data for a reactivated test is restored and the test results will be used for reports and calculations for the student.
