Bulk-assigning student placement grades in Imagine MyPath

 Note

This article applies to the following products:

  • Imagine MyPath Math
  • Imagine MyPath Reading

School Administrators and District Administrators can assign placement grades to multiple students on the Student Placement page in Imagine MyPath. You can choose one placement grade per subject for each bulk assignment.

These instructions cover bulk assignment at the school level.

When to assign placements manually

Manual placement can be useful when your organization does not use an assessment to place students in MyPath or when you want to use results from an assessment that isn't integrated with MyPath.

For details, see Assessment and placement options in Imagine MyPath.

 Note

You can bulk-assign placements for Math and Reading. The subjects available depend on your organization's product licenses.

Assign placement grades

 Caution

Bulk assignment replaces existing placements for the students and subjects you select with a standard grade-level placement. This includes domain-specific placement grades that diagnostic assessments assigned. No alert appears when your selection includes students who already have placements.

To assign placement grades in bulk:

  1. Use Filters to narrow the list of students:

    • Grade Level: Select one rostered grade to avoid assigning the same placement grade to students across different rostered grades. Choose the placement grade based on the selected students' needs; it does not have to match their rostered grade.
    • Placement: Select Not Placed if you want to assign placements only to students who do not have one.
    • Subject: Select Math, Reading, or both.

  2. Select the rows for the students and subjects you want to place. Select individual checkboxes, or use the checkbox in the top-left corner of the table to select all rows on the page.

    You can assign a maximum of 500 placements at once. If you exceed the limit, reduce your selection before continuing.

  3. Select Bulk Actions, then select Add Placement.

  4. Select a Grade for each subject included in the assignment. The grade you choose for a subject applies to every selected row for that subject. You can choose different placement grades for Math and Reading, if both were selected.
