generated

– DO NOT Affix label to answer booklet
– Return those labels to MI.

information– “Bubble” (hand enter) student demographic information on
student answer sheet– *Hand Entered information will always over-ride label– Example: Smith County, Jones Elementary enrolled a new
LEP student on January 15th • Smith Co Title III Director included the new student in the
number of tests ordered for Jones Elementary• When tests arrive the new student will receive a test booklet,
Jones Elementary will receive 1 “Generic” label but new student will NOT have a Pre ID label
• Smith Co Director will affix “Generic” school label and will bubble in student information on answer document
