The Test Registration System allows you to organize your testing locations/events, students taking tests, site coordinators, and proctors managing tests for CAASPP testing. After the system is set to your specifications, teachers can help register students for specific test sites/events. There are also options for mass registration of students utilizing the compliance report. In addition, if you are District school, everything can be set up at District Level and then copied to the individual Child Scopes.
Please note that each school varies in terms of set-up (reg window, locations, events) and the screenshots in this manual are only examples/suggestions.
CAASPP ADMINISTRATION
CAASPP Registration Windows / Basic Information
Test Administrators set-up Registration Windows which will allow teachers to register students during the designated registration window only. Only Administrators will have over-ride capabilities when it comes to student registration after the close of the registration window.
Create a letter that your teachers will see when they start the registration process. Also enter the date registration starts and the registration end date. Check box when you want these details to display to staff. SAVE.

Test Coordinators will still be able to register from the Compliance Report
