MOWR Submissions
MOWR Submission Guidance for LEAs
The Arizona State Legislature appropriates approximately $45 million annually to elementary schools for the purpose of supporting effective reading instruction in grades K-3. To receive these additional funds, each school district and charter school is annually (as amended by HB2026) required to submit a literacy plan and triannual data for review and approval by the Arizona Department of Education Move on When Reading team.
Literacy Plans for 2024-2025 are due on or before October 1st, 2024
Literacy Assessment Data and Narratives are due on or before:
- October 1st (Window 1 opens by August 5)
- February 1st (Window 2 opens December 1)
- June 1st (Window 3 opens April 1)
Only one data window can be opened at a time. Once the window closes and a new data window opens, it is no longer accessible in your ADEConnect portal should you miss a deadline.
