I know that you can filter an assessment report by IEP students and ELL students. Can you filter an assessment report to exclude SPED and/or ELL students?

Mrs_Underwood · 2024-12-12

How do I allow students and their parents go back to an assessment to review the information and see what they missed? I know how to get to the assessment, but it says that "teacher has hidden the assessment info". How do I change this?
