Can a student participate in the MCAS-Alt for one subject and the standard MCAS paper and pencil test for another? If so, how do principals indicate this?
A. Yes. IEP or 504 plan teams may decide to test the student in one subject and give and alternate assessment in another. The principal should submit an answer booklet containing the student’s responses to the standard test, and an MCAS-Alt Student Identification Form (SIF) for the subject in which the student took the alternate assessment. All student information must be completed as requested.
