We simply export the student date files, then import them on the
computer in their next classroom.  We are a very small school with only
one classroom per grade level so this works well for us.

Karen,

All of our students in grades 1-5 are in the computer for AR tests.  All
grade levels participate.  When we start a new year we leave the student
records from previous years; that way we can know what they have taken,
and they cannot take a test twice.  Look in the instruction manual for
changing the teacher listing, etc. from year to year.  If you don't have
a manual, Advantage Learning will be glad to send you one.  Hope this
helps!

If you are networked, there should be no problem. Just don't erase their
record.  If you want you can delete their points at the end of 5th grade,
but not the tests.  It will carry over from year to year. I have even
downloaded my 5th graders when they moved to another building and the
librarian there uploaded them.  That way they couldn't retake tests at her
school.

Hi!!

We use AR with grades 2 through 6.  I believe that in the new version (5.0), there 
is a way to promote students to the next grade level without having to erase their 
record.  I haven't tried it yet because we just upgraded to version 5.0 about a 
month ago.  There should be instructions that come in the user's manual.  If you're 
not running version 5.0, I believe that you can get the upgrade at little or no 
cost.

Hope I helped!!

Kristen

Hi Karen,
Saw your question on your AR situation. It is a pretty easy solution.
At the end of the year for your fifth graders, graders not delete
their files. I am making the assumption that your AR is on a
network. When you know their sixth grade assignment, simply go
into their file and change their teacher name, grade level, etc.
Then all their test records stay with them.
I have AR in K-6 for 3 different buildings, and I transfer 6th
grade records up to the Jr. High via the network, so a students
record stays with them K-8. Let me know if there are any other
questions I can help you with.

I run AR for 6, 7, & 8 and all the records reside in the ALSDATA folder.
It only shows the student the data for the current year but it has all the
tests from the previous year in the file and won't let them repeat a test.
 You should see their faces when I tell them the reason they can't take
the test again is because they took that test on Apr. 12 last year or
whatever.  It really is funny.  Middle schoolers are always trying to get
around things.

Karen -

    Our building has AR mounted on our building's server for k-5. All of
the student's records are then maintained k-5. No student is deleted
until they leave our building following 5th grade. When they move to the
middle school, I export their records to a disk and give it to the
middle school teachers. They then import the records into their own
computers for 6th grade (not networked). At the end of 6th grade, the
records are once again exported, moved and imported into the 7th grade
computers. This is repeated for 8th grade. I am not sure if they are
continuing this to the High School. Some type of record is being sent so
that kids can not repeat tests at the HS level. Freshman have to
complete some AR tests and then their is an independent reading class
that is an elective where the students read and test in AR.

    Our school has been doing AR for two full years now from K-12. The
middle school has had AR for at least 5 years. One of our girls at the
MS level has accumulated 1000 points in her 3 years there so I know that
they are not deleting points and are importing records.

    Hope this helps you. If you have any questions, drop me a note.
