 District Testing Coordinators and Others,
 
 AYP Final Reports Available - Note from Jon Bridges
 AYP final reports are available for preview on the district secure website
 https://district.ode.state.or.us/apps/login/. The final reports reflect
 student demographic data changes made through PADM (including district
 special education and full academic year identification).  The reports
 also reflect assessment appeals to ODE to correct edits that did not
 "take" during the PADM edit window.  For smaller schools and district, the
 final reports reflect the inclusion of four years of data and local
 assessment information when required for determining AYP.  Finally, report
 card rules for boundary and school configuration changes and the resulting
 inclusion or removal of a limited number of institutions have been
 applied.
 Please note the following changes since the August 10th preliminary
 reports:
 1.  K-12 school reports reflect the correct number of assessments and the
 correct other academic indicator for determining AYP
 2.  The number of tests reported at the district level have changed since
 August.  District totals now reflect all students identified as enrolled
 in the district for a full academic year, including students enrolled in
 district programs.  In addition, the 2001-02 district data includes
 students enrolled in schools that were closed in 2002-03.
 If you have questions about the final reports, email
 ayp.reports at state.or.us or call (503) 378-3600 ext. 2287 
 
 On-Line Order Site Delay (bar-code & non bar-code districts)
 Due to further complications in programming, ODE's new on-line order
 application remains in a suspended state. When the site is functioning
 properly (saving orders and allowing English/Spanish/Russian MPS and
 English/Spanish Writing orders) - we will go live. Our IT shop needs one
 more day of coding to correct problems that have surfaced. ODE will
 conduct another Quality Check of the application Friday. The "on-line
 order" application should be available for statewide ordering by Monday
 Nov. 10th and will be available for ordering through Nov. 19th. DTC will
 be given a progress check by end of day Thursday. 
 This first round of ordering is intended for the Jan. 17 - Feb. 14
 performance assessment window . ODE expects that districts will include
 all B 2 (grade 5), B 3 (grade 8) as well as CIM students that are testing
 during the first performance assessment window.
 
 Assessment Collection (non bar-code districts)
 If you submitted your assessment collection (pre-code file) - YEAH!! Thank
 you - Thank you! 
 The published deadline is Nov. 7th for submitting this information so that
 EDS will be able to pre-fill student/school demographic information on
 answer folders for the winter performance assessment (Jan.17 - February
 14). A number of districts have requested an extension to complete this
 task. Please attempt to complete the submission of pre-code files by the
 7th, but if you need a little more time to collect and submit these files
 please do so ASAP. This free per-code service will only be accepted until
 Nov. 14th. After Nov.14th, districts will receive the quantities ordered
 (through ODE's On-Line Ordering Application) with blank student
 information that will necessitate hand bubbling by teachers/students or
 contracting with a service provider for bar-coding
 If you have questions or need help with this submission, please don't
 hesitate to call our wonderful helpdesk 503 - 378-3600 x 2645. They will
 be able to assist you in this process.
