Auto-Move Assessments Forward on Enrollment

How It Works

When a student is enrolled in a class (manually or via WA import), LACES checks for eligible assessments from the prior fiscal year. An assessment is auto-moved forward if all the following conditions are met:

• The assessment is level-defining

• It falls within 180 days of the enrollment date

• It is the highest Educational Functioning Level (EFL) for that subject

• The test is not expired

Only one assessment per subject area is moved, based on the highest EFL in the allowable window.

💡Note: When an assessment is auto-moved forward due to a new class enrollment, it remains moved forward even if the enrollment is deleted. To revert the assessment, delete the assessment record that was moved forward.  Do not delete the original assessment from the prior fiscal year.

What Is Not Eligible

Auto-move will not occur if:

• The assessment is outside the 180-day range from the enrollment date

• The assessment is expired or from a test with an expiration (e.g., CASAS Reading GOALS post 6/30/25)
