The prescription rules currently limit the prescriptions to the five worst standards for any particular student. Since the prescriptions are based on the student's lowest scoring skills, you may want to have additional prescriptions ready for additional work. There will be prescriptions attached to the email based on the standards covered for each assessment. Use your discretion when analyzing the data and determining what standards should be included in each child’s prescription packet. ** 10. Printing Student Letters** The MLAS system creates and individual prescription letter for each child The **‘** //**student summaries’**// letters should be printed and distributed to each child.
