1. The ‘Data Downloads’ area will remain open for PASA ACs to access the following information:
   • 2019 Accounts and Records: PASA ACs will be able to download a record of assessors associated with their testing site in 2019-20. This information can be used to create the User Template within the DLM Kite system.
   • Previous Score Reports: Summary score reports from 2019 and earlier will be available here.
   
   
2. The ‘Students’ tab will also be available to PASA ACs to view 2019-20 student enrollment rosters.

Individual student score reports from 2019 and earlier can also be accessed within the student information tab. Although some students were able to complete the assessment in 2020 prior to the COVID-19 statewide assessment cancellation, individual student score reports were not able to be provided for these students.
