The WY-ALT Assessment Window will be open March 4 through April 11. WY-ALT is an individually administered, student performance assessment that allows students with the most significant cognitive disabilities (SMSCD) to demonstrate their mastery of grade-level-aligned Wyoming Extended Standards. The WY-ALT is administered to students in grades 3–10 in English Language Arts and Mathematics. In grades 4, 8, and 10, students also take the WY-ALT Science assessment.

Refer to the Authoring User Guide for more information about how to create district, building, or classroom assessments in the Wyoming Authoring Tool.
