• The Wyoming Department of Education has chosen a new platform for WY-TOPP. We will move to the new platform in August. Things may look a little bit differently for a while.

• Data from the 25-26 Summative Session for Math and Science will be delayed due to a reduction of standards being addressed on the assessment, which results in a recalibration of scores.

• Data for the 26-27 school year will be delayed due to the transition to the new portal and the change in ELA standards.

• Please be patient as we work through the transition. All schools in the state will be making this transition.

August 13th, 2026 - Locations TBD

3 Renowned Professional Learning Community Presenters are coming to Rawlins to present to the staff. More information to come soon.
