About managing students

Before you can create a test event, you must set up student records in DataManager™. Student records are linked to specific locations so that you can search and view student test information for a particular class, building, and district. A student's test results are reported back to the student’s assigned location.

Initially, your district loads student records by creating and submitting a student data file to Riverside Insights®, which then uploads the file to DataManager. See Creating and Submitting Data Files for more information. After the initial creation of student records, the Manage Students page allows you to add, edit, and delete student records.

Unique Student ID Requirement

Each student record must have a student ID that is unique across your school system. The student ID is a critical data element in DataManager that aids in matching student results and the accumulation of test results over time. Student IDs are also important for ensuring prompt turnaround of score reports following test administration.
