Under the Student Assessment Bill of Rights, the Oregon Department of Education (ODE) and Oregon’s school districts must provide families with a “Notice of Statewide Tests and Opt-out Form” 30 days before the start of statewide testing. This year, school has been significantly disrupted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and other factors. In response, ODE asked the United States Department of Education for a temporary pause (also known as a “waiver”) in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math testing. A pause is also being requested for science testing, but science testing is not subject to this opt-out rule.
• If this waiver request is approved, then statewide ELA and Math testing will not happen this year, and there will be no need for parents to submit opt-out forms to their child’s school.
• If the waiver request is not approved, test windows will open on April 13, 2021. ODE will update your district regularly with news about the waiver.
ODE 30-Day Notice & Opt-Out Form
**Please return form to your school’s main office.

NMS is rewarding students for reading independently at school. Students can pick up a sheet in front of the office to track reading. They will then read for 10 minutes a day, write a short summary, have an adult sign that they read, and turn the sheet into the office to be eligible for that day's prize.
