There will be one field in each test scores import file that uniquely identifies a student, used by the Import Test Scores program to find the proper student in the WESPaC database. All current ITBS/ITED and WASL import files have defined the third field as that link.
There are three possible WESPaC fields that the import file can link to: Student-ID, Other-ID, or the MN-EDE-NBR (State Student Identifier or SSID). Each refers to database columns (fields) in the student table (record). Student-ID is the primary key of the student table and is automatically generated when a student is added into the WESPaC database. Other-ID is the student identifier that is converted from Legacy; it is no longer used as the primary key in WESPaC, but is maintained for referential integrity to the Legacy system. SSID is generated by OSPI to identify a student.
2004 ITBS test scores (grades 3 and 6)
If your district ran the Pre-ID Extract as a Legacy client, the identifier in the test score files will be Other-ID. If your district ran the Pre-ID extract as a WESPaC client, the identifier in the test score files will be Student-ID.
2004 ITED and WASL test scores (grades 4, 5, 7, 8, and 10)
Whether your district ran the Pre-ID as a Legacy client or a WESPaC client, the identifier in the test score file will be MN-EDE-NBR (SSID).
While viewing the File Definition Maintenance screen, select field "Order 003" in the detail Fields section. Click EDIT.
Go to the Link to Student field. Click on the menu to display the list of valid values for this field.
Review the above discussion and select the appropriate student identifier as follows:
STO = STUDENT.OTHER-ID
STI = STUDENT.STUDENT-ID
STM = STUDENT.MN-EDE-NBR (default)
Click OK to save your changes.
