NOTE:  When the Smarter Balanced Cards are printed at the District level, the cards will be sorted by school first, and then by the selected sort option. KEEP or SKIP statements can be run to limit the students reported on the cards.


  • ID to Print – Since students may not know their state student ID, the student’s Permanent ID, Student Number or Birthdate can also be printed on the cards. This will help when a test session has several students with the same first name. 


  • Print Last Name? – Select this option if you would like to print the student’s Last Name (in smaller print) below their First Name. This field was added to aid in card distribution. 


  • Print Legal Name Disclaimer? - Select this option to add a reminder on the SBAC card for the students to log into CAASPP using their legal name. 


  • Only Students with Legal Name? - Select this option to only print the legal name reminder on cards for students with a value in the Legal Name fields. 


  • Sort by First Name – Cards are sorted by First name. If several students have the same first name, then the secondary sort is Last Name. 


  • Sort by Last Name, First – Cards are sorted by Last Name, then First Name. 


  • Sort by Grade – Cards are sorted by grade, then last name and then first name. 


  • Sort by Counselor – Cards are sorted by Counselor name (from STU.CNS), and then student last name, and student first name. One or more teachers can be selected by clicking on the names in the dropdown. (Press and hold the CTRL key or the Shift key while clicking on the counselors names to select more than one.)


  • Sort by Teacher – Cards are sorted by teacher name (from STU.CU), and then student last name, and student first name. One or more teachers can be selected by clicking on the names in the dropdown. (Press and hold the CTRL key or the Shift key while clicking on the teacher names to select more than one.) Not available at the District level. 


  • Sort by Period – Only available at the School level, cards are sorted by teacher name, student last name, and student first name for all students that have the selected period. Teachers with two or more sections in the same period will find their students sorted by name rather than section. Not available at the District level. 


  • Sort by Section – The Section option has an additional Filter which will allow users to limit the cards to students that are enrolled in classes with certain teacher(s), section(s), period(s), course(s), subject area(s), department(s) or room(s). Cards are sorted by teacher name, period, section, student last name, and student first name. Not available at the District level.
