Formative achievement tests will be given to students in grades K – 10th grade in the Fall, Winter and Spring. Individual achievement, intelligence, and/or aptitude tests are given by the special education personnel upon written parental permission. You are entitled to and will be given the results of all tests given to your child. Don’t hesitate to ask for a full explanation of the results if one has not been given to your satisfaction. Remember that the major purpose of testing is to measure and improve student learning.
RSU 82 utilizes all assessment data to help inform our practices at the district, school, classroom and individual levels for our students. Although we encourage students and parents to participate fully in our assessment program, it is important to note that parents/guardians may opt their child out of state testing. If you are interested in doing so, please reach out to Mr. Lacasse to make this request in writing.
