Assessment
-
Assessments provide valuable information for students, parents, and educators on whether students have mastered grade-level content and are on track to graduate prepared for the 21st century. Assessments inform school and district personnel on where to improve curriculum, instruction, and leadership in order to better serve your child and ensure that Every Child Succeeds.
The Assessment Administration team supports the successful administration of local and state assessments. Please see the resources below for strategic planning and support of assessment administration.
The Fall SAL training calendar can be found here. SAL trainings are offered in-person. Both the primary and secondary SALs MUST attend.

Opting Out of Assessments
Parents who wish to excuse their student from participation in one or more of the state assessments may do so by filling out the district’s parent opt-out application. The application is available to parents through the Parent Portal through the end of February. Parents are encouraged to discuss the process with their school principal.Resources
