This is an issue most frequently dealt with in the summer. Students who are moving from the 8th grade to the 9th grade may sign up and initially use our program, however they cannot test until July 1. The reason for this is July 1 is the date that Skyward goes through an automatic massive system update, which will also update all the students’ years. Before July 1, students would technically still be 8th graders, not 9th graders, so their grades would go on 4th term of 8th grade instead of 1st term of 9th. After July 1, they will have their high school transcript and they will be able to keep moving the same as regular students.
When setting up an 8th grader’s account in Buzz, please be sure to include the following:
