Parent Notification – Student Participation in State Assessments
Our school district receives Title I-Part A funds and is required to notify the parents of each student attending a Title I-Part A school that the parents may request, and the district will provide to the parents on request (and in a timely manner), information regarding any state or district policy regarding student participation in any assessments mandated by section 1111(b)(2) and by the state or district, including a policy, procedure, or parental right to opt the child out of such assessment, where applicable.
Information on State and Local Assessments
Students are subject to the administration of district and state assessments. These tests will provide the student, parents, teachers, district and state important information on the student' academic progress on the state standards. Upon request the school will provide, in a timely manner, the district's testing policy and state information mandated by section 1111(b)(2).
When the results of state mandated assessment are sent to the district, those reports will be forwarded on to the parents via Progress Book. District assessment results will be sent home with the student and/or distributed during parent teacher conferences. Digital access to assessment results is also available through the student’s accounts at any time.
If you have any questions about district or state tests, please feel free to contact your building principal.
