    Frequently Asked Questions

    Q: Where do I get a student’s height and weight?

    A: 5th grade teachers will get their height and weight from the school nurse and input into Illuminate. 7th and 9th grade PE teachers will measure height and weight for their students.

     

    Q: All grades are in Illuminate? Do I have to input for all grades?

    A: No, only grades 5, 7, 9 are required. Others may be input if you would like to record their results, but this is optional.

     

    Q: I see more tests and metrics in Illuminate. Are these all required?

    A: No. CDE has approved additional tests that we do not required for SUSD.
