Assessment
Standardized and classroom assessments provide students, teachers, and parents with information about how well a student is learning essential knowledge and skills in reading, writing, mathematics, and science. Data from these assessments also help teachers and administrators identify students who would benefit from additional or different learning opportunities, improve classroom instruction for students, identify areas of focus for school and district improvement efforts, and monitor progress toward the district goal of increasing academic achievement for every student.
Parents can view student assessment results through the parent portal, ParentVUE. What do my child’s ELA and Math scores mean? For more information about assessments and scores, choose your child’s grade and test below.

Grade Level Assessments
Opt-Out Information for the Oregon Statewide Assessment System (OSAS)
In 2010, Oregon adopted higher K-12 standards in English Language Arts and Math to ensure all students move from grade to grade with the academic knowledge and skills necessary for success beyond high school. The state tests: challenge your child to think critically, go beyond multiple choice and ask your child to explain their answers, act as a snapshot of your child’s progress, and help us identify schools that need additional supports to ensure more students are meeting higher standards.
To opt-out of the Math or ELA assessment, please complete the form below. To best support school district planning, you are encouraged to submit this form to your child’s school by January 3, 2022 (for students in Grades 9-12) or February 4, 2022 (for students in Grades 3-8). For students who enroll after the statewide testing window begins, you are encouraged to submit the form within 2 weeks of enrollment. This form is only valid for the 2021-22 school year.
