IAR/ISA Doomsday Clock

Fellow Illinoisans:

With my district starting ISA in less than a month, I couldn't wait for PowerSchool state reporting to come out with their solution for the new Illinois Administration Platform/ADAMexam system. So I took the time to rewrite the IARrific plugin (and it's bro the IARrific + ACCESS plugin) as a stopgap. 
In version 3 of these plugins, I'm reusing as many of the existing state fields as possible to house the accommodations for this new testing platform. Even so, I still had to create 12 new fields. The form validation has been updated to that listed in the "Spring 2025 Field Definitions Guide Accessibility and Accommodations Supplement".
Both plugins include a report to export an accommodations CSV file for import into ADAMexam. 

We need to settle on a nickname for this system. Is it IAP, as in Illinois Administration Platform? That is too close to IAR. 
Should we call it ADAM? The launchpad site says "IL Summative Administration Platform powered by ADAM". 
Should we just say PANv2?

Anyway, with the next state reporting update likely coming out at the end of February, it is up to you if you want to utilize this (hopefully) temporary solution.

Today's picture is a button my daughter made. And if you recognize the reference, you are one cool Stanley.

For my IL friends. Yes you with the pumpkin spice frosted flakes.

The latest Illinois state reporting update shifted a few accommodations around for ISA. 
If you are using the IARrific or IARrific + ACCESS plugins, make sure to update to version 2.1 after you are running IL state reporting 24.9.2.1.2 (the download was labeled 24.10 for some reason) or higher.
The optional IAR/ISA backup and clear SQLreports associated with those plugins are also updated.
Finally, the ACCESS accommodations SQLreport associated with the IARrific + ACCESS plugin has been updated to match the change WIDA made to their template this year.

Hope to see some of you at the WI PSUG event next month!

Sometimes a message key isn't found

Listen people. If you are going to make your plugins translatable, your going to screw up some message keys. It's the PowerSchool version of breaking a few eggs, right?

Hence the Today's Bus Notes plugin has a new release that fixes some message keys. And gets a nifty new feature. You can specify per school how teachers/admins interact with the notes. Can they read/write, read-only, or not see them at all, you decide.

For those using the IARrific + ACCESS plugin, you will want to update the accompanying SQLreport used to upload accommodations to WIDA. They changed the layout for 24-25.

Finally, my daughter has announced that she needs a Type O Negative t-shirt for the fall season. I'm so proud.
