DreamBox Math Educator Dashboard: Updating Initial Placement (Teachers)

You can edit a student's initial placement level from the dashboard before they sign in and begin playing DreamBox Math. This will update their placement in DreamBox Math, not their enrolled (rostered) grade level, or the Grade field.
