Oregon State Testing Opt-Out Information

This year all students will take the state assessment tests in Language Arts and Math. 8th-grade students will take a Science test in addition to the Language Arts and Math. Clear Creek is tentatively scheduled to test in April/May--there will be more information in the coming months. The tests are not timed so your child can take as long as he or she needs to fully demonstrate what he or she knows and can do. 

We know that an end-of-the-year test cannot possibly tell us everything about your child’s academic progress. However, the results do act as a snapshot of your child’s strengths and areas for improvement and can be used as a way to ensure they are getting the support they need. Additionally, the tests help Gresham Barlow School District’s efforts to equitably distribute resources and support student learning. When fewer students take the test, we are left with an incomplete and inaccurate picture of how our students are performing, and this limits our ability to address issues, better serve students, and continue to improve our educational system. 

Should you wish to opt your child out, please complete the appropriate online form below.

If you have questions, please reach out to Jeannie Seamone, Assistant Principal

AT ALL SCHOOLS, a la carte purchases have a cost to the family and must be pre-paid by account or in cash.  A la carte purchases include milk without a school meal, bottled water, chips, cookies, and other snack and beverage items that are not part of a school meal.

All students have a meal account that follows them throughout their career at GBSD. This account is accessed when getting a meal using the student ID number, which is also the child’s PIN. Money may be added to the account by sending cash or check with your student to the cafeteria in the morning. Checks should be made out to Gresham-Barlow Nutrition Services. You may also add money by credit card using mymealtime.com. MealTime charges a small transaction fee for online payments.
