Student Participation Information:

"It is important for students to participate in statewide assessments for a similar reason. Because statewide assessment results are used to evaluate how districts and the state are teaching the applicable standards, each student’s assessment results play an important role when deciding where resources are most needed. They are also crucial in determining whether changes to instruction, efforts toward equity, and emphasis on inclusion are making a difference for students. The data gathered from assessment results inform each district, and they show clear trends over time." - MDE

 

You may elect to not have your child(ren) participate in the state-required standardized assessments, but you must complete the Minnesota Department of Education's Opt-Out Forms and return them to Emily Stadheim prior to the start of state testing.  Below you can find the link to the forms.

 

 

 

 

Individual Student Results are received in late August. Depending on their arrival, results are either distributed at open house (for appropriate grades), conferences (appropriate grades) or mailed out parent/guardians or students.
