Consolidated School-to-Home Report

The Consolidated School-to-Home Report summarizes one student's work in all Renaissance programs in a report that can be given to parents.

1. Use the Students drop-down list to select either a single school, or choose All Schools to select all the schools in the district.
   
   
   • School administrators and school staff can only select their own schools.
   
   To select specific schools, classes, or students, use the links below the Students drop-down list. Selecting one of these links will open a corresponding pop-up window; in that window, check the box at the top of the list to select all the available choices, or make individual selections below it. You can enter search criteria in the field at the top of the window to find a specific school, class, or student (for students, select a school first, then enter search criteria to find specific students).
   
   
   
   • School administrators and school staff can only select their own schools or classes and students in their own schools.
   
   Once you have made your choices, select Save Selection at the bottom of the pop-up window.

2. If you want to use demographic data to further refine the data in the report, select Change Demographics...
   
   

   By default, the "All" option is chosen for Ethnicity, Gender, Language, and Grade Level. To reduce the scope, choose the "Select" option at the top of the appropriate column and then check your selections in that column.
   
   In the example above, the user has selected two Languages and three Grade Levels, while leaving Ethnicity and Gender at the default "All" options. Note: The Filter Reports by Ethnicity user permission may be set to prevent the use of ethnicities as a filter.

   By default, the "All" option is chosen for Characteristics. To reduce the scope, choose Select Characteristics... and then check each characteristic you want students in the report to have. You must also choose any or all (after "Include students with") to specify whether students with any of the selected characteristics will be included in the report or only those with all of the selected characteristics.
   
   
   In the example above, the user selected two Characteristics (ADA and ESL). Because any is selected, the report will include students who are ADA, ESL, or both. If all had been selected, only students who are both ADA and ESL would be included. Note: The Filter Reports by Characteristics user permission may be set to prevent the use of characteristics as a filter.
   
   Once you are finished choosing demographic options, select Apply at the bottom of the window to save your choices (or Cancel to close the window without saving your choices).

3. Use the Reporting Period drop-down list to choose the dates you want to generate the report for. You can select an existing marking period, screening window, or you can select Custom... and set your own dates (use the calendars to select a range of dates or type them in the fields using m/d/yyyy format; then select Apply to use the dates you have chosen or Cancel to close this pop-up without saving your selection). Dates can be in the current school year or up to three years prior to the current school year.
   
   

   If schools use their own unique date ranges within a district screening window, those ranges will all have the same name. To help you tell them apart, the dates they cover will be added to the end of the name.

   

4. You can include additional data in the report to compare one student's work to his or her classmates. To the right of the Reporting Period drop-down list, check the boxes to include the average scores of all the students in the same class and/or all the students in the same grade and school.
   
5. Check Show Grade Equivalent if you want Grade Equivalent scores to be included on the report. Check Hide Students Without Data if you want students with no data to be omitted from the report.
   
   
6. Select the products that you want included in the report. Note: If you select a product that a student has not used, that product will not appear on the student's report.
   
   
7. Once you are done choosing report options, select Update Report.
   
   
8. The report will generate and then open at the bottom of the page. (The example below shows a report where Accelerated Reader and Star Early Literacy were selected as the products.)
   
   
   • The student's scores for each product are shown in a table.
   • If you chose to include average scores for the student's class and/or grade, they are shown in columns to the right of the student's scores.
     
     

     notes on the scores

     • Scaled Scores are only shown for Star Early Literacy assessments .
     • When the average Scaled Score is calculated for a group of students, the Rasch scores are averaged first; that average is then converted to the average Scaled Score for the group. This method is more accurate than using each student's individual Scaled Score for the calculation.
   • Blank spaces are left at the bottom for teacher signatures, parent signatures, and any comments you want to write on a printed copy of the report.
9. You can change any of the options you have selected and then regenerate the report by selecting Update Report.
10. To print the report, select the PDF icon at the top of the screen: .
11. To return to the Reports page, select either Back to Reports or the report icon at the top of the screen.
