Deactivating and Reactivating Star Reading Spanish 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 Reading 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.

  1. Log in to Renaissance.
  2. On the Home page, select Star Spanish; in the drop-down list, select Record Book.

  3. Use the drop-down lists in the upper-left corner of the Record Book to select the subject (select Reading to see Star Reading 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.

    On the left, the Deactivate option was selected; the pop-up window reminds you that deactivating the assessment will exclude the assessment's score from all reporting. The name of the student, the type of assessment, the date taken, and assessment score are all shown; the Deactivate Assessment and Cancel buttons are at the bottom. On the right, the Reactivate option was selected; the pop-up window reminds you that reactivating the assessment will include the assessment's score in all reporting. The name of the student, the type of assessment, the date taken, and assessment 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.
