ISAT/IRI CHANGE in Requirements
The state of Idaho has changed the requirements for ISAT and IRI testing for this school year. It is now in person, and they will not allow for the ISAT and IRI to be tested at home. This is a state requirement, not a school requirement. You have or will be receiving a letter that will have a location, date, and time for ISAT testing. The email will be labeled ISAT Testing Information. If you have not received this letter, you will by mid January. You will also be receiving a letter for IRI Testing. NOTE: These are two different tests, and they both now need to be proctored in person. Please watch your email for information on each test.

Resource Orders
Resource ordering is now open again from December 1 to January 31.
You are also able to submit a reimbursement request each month from now through May for each child. Families may upload more than one receipt for reimbursement without combining them into one document.
You can check your student’s funding balance by going to your parent dashboard and scrolling down to see your child’s name. Then click on Student Funding Account. There you’ll see the remaining balance for your child.
You can also check the status of your resource orders by clicking on each resource order link. If there is an issue with your resource order, you can contact the ordering department by submitting a Help Desk Ticket. You may leave comments related to missing items, provide additional information, etc. Note: The Help Desk is only for resource order questions.
