PVAAS

Local Assessment Data Upload!

Your PIMS Administrator can upload local assessment data into PVAAS. Prior to 2020, PDE received feedback that local assessment data would be useful for diagnostic measures. This feature became available when state assessments were paused due to COVID. Now, we have the ability to capture ALL assessments! Visit the PVAAS Learning Modules for more support and self-paced guides!


Roster verification is a process used to provide PVAAS teacher-specific reporting based on accurate data. This process is for teachers and administrators to document and verify that each student is linked accurately to one or more teachers – for the correct state assessment(s) and the appropriate proportion of instructional responsibility.

FRCPP Updates & Info FRCPP Updates & Info

Articulation Agreements: If you upload your dual enrollment articulation agreements into CATS, you do not need to upload it anywhere else. If you do not upload into CATS, you upload into FRCPP.
