Add Student Assessment Scores (or Goal) via the Assessment Widget

Purpose:

To allow end users to download a template to use for uploading student scores.  This eases the work of the end user (teacher) by allowing for quick data entry of student scores.  A template is generated for an assessment which has the student information (including IDs), all the end user needs to do is enter the student score (or goal).  The template even has some error checking built in, such as color coding the score to the performance level the score is in, as well as not allowing the user to enter a score that is outside the allowable score ranges.

Within a few minutes an email should be received from Homeroom with the results of the upload. It will tell the user how many student records were added and if there were any errors. (Please Note: SchoolData.net suggests you retain these email messages.)

If a user happens to accidentally load the student scores twice, the second load will override the first, that is, the second set of scores will effectively delete the first set.
