For those districts that have been uploading universal screener data to Infinite Campus, several small changes are coming for the 2026-2027 school year. It is considered best practice to add student universal screener data to state test structures within Infinite Campus to allow for the transfer of student data should students move to a new school. Any districts not already following this practice are encouraged to do so starting with the 2026-2027 school year.

To allow for broader usage across grade levels, all KDE test structures for universal screener assessments have been updated to remove the word “Early” from the name for both literacy and numeracy test structures. For example, the test structure previously named, “KDE Early Literacy MAP Growth” is now called “KDE Literacy MAP Growth,” and the test structure previously named “KDE Early Numeracy MAP Growth Screener” is now called “KDE Numeracy MAP Growth Screener” allowing for usage with students in grades K-12.

A new “result” field has also been added to all literacy and numeracy state test structures to allow for the collection of benchmark categories.
