Manage Reason Not Tested Codes

All students who are entered in TIDE and did not take an ELPA21 summative test must have a code assigned for each summative test explaining why they did not take the test. Reason Not Tested Codes do not need to be entered for screener tests. Table 8 lists the reason not tested codes. Non-participation codes do not apply to the ELPA21 Screener.

Table 8: Special Codes
