Roster Verification

Student Search

Use the student search to add one or more students to a roster.

In the search results, the rows for any students who are already on the roster — whether they are active or removed — are dimmed, and the check boxes for those students are unavailable.

If you need to restore a student who has been removed from the roster, return to the roster, find the student in the Removed Students table, and click Restore.

  1. Use the fields on the Student Search window to specify your search criteria.
  2. To find one student, enter the student's last name or the State Secure ID. It is not necessary to enter both. To find multiple students at once, leave the name and State Secure ID fields blank, and select other school options.

  3. Click Submit. The student search returns students across the state who meet the criteria you selected.
  4. In the search results, select the check box next to each student you want to add.
  5. Click Add Selected Students. The students appear in your roster, and the Edits icon appears in the Edits column for that student. Click the icon to view all changes for that student.
If a student was pre-populated on a roster with an incorrect name or State Secure ID, contact PVAAS Technical Support. We will provide you with further instructions.

What to do if you cannot find a student

  • Verify that you spelled the student's name correctly.
  • Search again on fewer letters. For example, instead of "Smithers" try "Smi."
  • Leave some fields blank to widen the search parameters.
  • If you limited your search to a single school or district, select All Districts to search statewide.

A student who enrolled in a school after data was pulled from PIMS doesn't appear in the Student Search results until an enrollment update including that student is released.

When students are added to PVAAS, they are not automatically added to rosters. Follow these steps to add a student to a roster.

What to do if a student is not in the Student Search results

If you are a teacher

  1. If the student enrolled at your school before one of the submission dates in the table above, contact PVAAS Technical Support. Otherwise, skip this step.
  2. Verify everything else on your rosters.
  3. When you click Submit All Rosters, you will see a confirmation window that contains space for you to enter a message. Use this space to list the missing students. PVAAS includes your message in an email to the School Administrator or School Roster Approver and displays it on the school's Roster Verification Summary.

If you are a School Administrator or School Roster Approver

  1. If the student enrolled at your school before one of the submission dates in the table above, contact PVAAS Technical Support. Otherwise, skip this step.
  2. Contact a district admin or district roster approver to verify the student has been added to the next enrollment file.

If you are a district admin or district roster approver, verify the student has been added to the next enrollment file.

Students who were entered in PIMS after May 28, 2024 will not be available in student search, and do not need to be included in Roster Verification. Also, students who enrolled after the testing window opened for your LEA/district do not need to be included in Roster Verification.
