Covid Test Kits for Students

The Oregon Department of Education (ODE) and Oregon Health Authority (OHA) have partnered to expand access to at-home COVID-19 testing for all children. They have provided  iHealth COVID-19 Home Test Kits for every student enrolled in our school. 

These test kits will be distributed for students to carry home on Thursday, May 26th. Students will also be provided with a flyer that has some information from the Oregon Health Authority about the test kits. These flyers as well as translations in multiple languages can be found at the following OHA web site:

https://govstatus.egov.com/or-oha-covid-19-testing

Please check with your student when they get home to make sure that they have brought the test kits home for your supervised use. Thank you for all your help in keeping schools safe and open!

OSAS Testing Parent Information

ALL STUDENTS GRADUATE PREPARED 

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. Because we raised the bar for what we expect students to know and be able to do, we have also changed the way we measure student progress through our state tests. 

Why does participation matter? 

While no single test can give a complete picture of your child’s progress, statewide tests provide educators and administrators with information about what educational approaches are working and progress and where additional resources are needed. Your child’s participation is important to ensure schools and districts receive the targeted resources they need to help all students succeed. 

Description of rights 

Help identify schools and Oregon law (ORS 329.479) permits parents and adult students to annually opt-out of Oregon’s statewide summative tests in English Language Arts and Math by submitting a form to the school the student attends. Schools will provide parents with the 2021-22 form at least 30 days prior to the start of testing.
