Import Management Site Selector

The Site Selector is used to select your district/school in Import, Student, and Test Management. A site will need to be selected before any work can be performed in these applications. The site selector tool in each application uses different logic to handle various scenarios. This might lead to slightly different results depending on which application you’re using.

The site selector in Import Management will show both active and inactive sites. When an import file contains an inactive site, the student will be added to WIDA AMS Student Management, but a registration will not be created, and an error will be displayed in the import validations. Import the student to an active site to create the registration.
