Editing Options Overview

This page describes the editing options.

 Yield

Before making changes to the edit options, discuss with Instructional Supervisor, Mentor Teacher, and if the student is identified as Special Education, with the SES department. Changes should only be made if all stakeholders are in agreement.

Edit Option Reminders
  • Edit options are set at the district-wide implementation level. 
  • For students who require Special Education Services, an SES member will update the Edit Options per the Compliance Form. 
  • For students who do not require Special Education Services, but may benefit from a change from the default option, it is best practice to collaborate with your Instructional Supervisor and the School Site Mentor.
