The WY-TOPP Writing Window opens Monday, March 4–Friday, March 15. The window is being held early to allow all student writing responses to be hand-scored and included in the ELA assessment scores. ELA scores for grades 3, 5, 7, and 9 will be published by mid-June. All students in grades 3, 5, 7, and 9 must participate in the Writing Window, in addition to taking the ELA assessment during the regularly scheduled window from April 16–May 10 to receive an ELA score.

Test security is of the utmost importance before, during, and after testing. Ensure that all Wyoming Assessment Security Agreements for K-12 Statewide Assessments are completed. Find more information on important assessment security measures here.
WY-TOPP Modulars (optional)
The WY-TOPP Modular assessment window is open through Thursday, June 13. The optional, on-demand WY-TOPP Modulars include ELA and Math in grades 1–11, and Science in grades 3–11. The assessments are semi-secure and can be used as classroom assessments, but should not be shared with a whole class for instruction.
Authoring Tool (optional)
The Authoring Tool is available for educators to build assessment items on the same platform as the statewide assessments. All Wyoming Content and Performance Standards and Wyoming Extended Standards are listed in this system for educators to use when creating classroom and district assessments. Refer to the Authoring User Guide for more information on creating district, building, or classroom assessments in the tool. Visit the Authoring Systems Training page for resources.
