I look at the two assessments as serving completely different  purposes.  The
assessment that you complete in the fall is part of  getting to know your
students.  Regardless of when a child enters my room,  I want to do an 
assessment
so that I can plan instruction.  You learn so  much more from watching a
student and interacting with them than you can from  just reading someone else's
assessment. So, even if you didn't have to take into  account a gain/loss over
the summer, you want to make sure that you are  personally assessing them. 
The spring assessment lets me know how effective my instruction was as well 
as how much a child has grown.  Same assessment, but serving two completely 
different purposes.
