The Andover Public Schools administers the Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills, 8th edition assessment (commonly known as DIBELS) to students in Kindergarten through Grade 5. The DIBELS assessment is a literacy screening tool given three times during the school year: Fall, Winter and Spring. DIBELS allows teachers to carefully monitor students' foundational reading development and reading comprehension. DIBELS also helps teachers design their reading instruction in individualized, targeted ways.

mCLASS is the digital platform we use to administer, score and analyze the DIBELS assessment. DIBELS caregiver reports are called: mCLASS HomeConnect Reports.
