In August and September our schools attended an AIMSweb website training

Principals attended along with personnel they identified as potential data managers

Each middle school has a manager’s account and password

The person with this account has the ability to set up teachers with their own password to view their own students’ data

Each middle school should have an AIMSweb manual
