Completing a full DESSA assessment on a subset of students

Overview

At times there is a need to complete a full DESSA for only a subset of students below a certain T-Score threshold.  For instance, district policy may require students to be opted-in before a full DESSA is conducted.  How can educators accomplish this? 

Yearly Setup

Program Admins should ensure that in the Yearly Setup the option Conditional assignment of a full assessment based on a T-Score less than or equal to X is unchecked.
