Assessment Hermiston School District utilizes a balanced system of assessment that includes a continuum of tools and strategies that measure student learning. Assessment occurs at multiple levels and serve a variety of purposes.
State Level Assessments: Parents have the option to “opt out” their student from any of these required state assessments by completing the appropriate forms below. The forms can be emailed to [email protected] or printed and returned to the district office in care of assessment. HSD encourages parents to have a conversation with the classroom teacher or building administrator prior to opting your student out, to learn about the accommodations and/or more details about how the tests are administered.
Impacts of Opting Your Student Out -
District Level Assessments: These assessments monitor student academic growth across the district and help provide information regarding specific reading and math skills/standards students may be deficient. Targeted interventions are then prescribed to help students move towards grade level proficiency or to boost them to their next learning experience. These universal screenings are offered three times a school year: Fall, Winter and Spring.
Classroom Level Assessments: Educators administer “quick” checks for understanding along with end of unit assessments to monitor student understanding of concepts and skills in order to help with instructional decisions. |
