<div>Starting in 2015-16, ODE has the opportunity to transition from using the ODE online district website to using the Data Entry Interface (DEI) of the OAKS Portal for the submission of Kindergarten Assessment (KA) data and expansion of OAKS Online Reporting
to provide informal KA reports. The DEI is a streamlined user interface hosted through the same OAKS Portal used for Oregon’s online assessments that would be accessible to authorized school or district staff (including test administrators) via tablet, laptop,
or<font color="red"> </font>desktop. ODE would like your feedback to inform its decision whether to transition to the DEI hosted through the OAKS Portal starting in 2015-16. The attached DEI proposal powerpoint briefly describes what the DEI is and how it works.</div>

<div>ODE asks that you please take a few moments to review the DEI Proposal powerpoint and then take the following survey which will ask you about your district's current Kindergarten Assessment administration and data entry protocols, as well as for feedback
on anticipated implications for district implementation should we transition to using the DEI in 2015-16. Please submit your survey response by <b>Friday, </b><b>January 30,</b><b> 2015</b>. </div>
