Smarter Balanced Tests and Opt-Out Option
New for 2015-16, House Bill 2655 establishes a new policy for exempting students from the Smarter Balanced assessments. To opt-out of the tests, you may access the 2015-16 Opt-Form on the District’s website, http://www.albany.k12.or.us/parents/ under ODE Smarter Balanced Opt Out Form. Complete form and return it, by February 1st, to Periwinikle Elementary. By signing the Opt-Out form, you may lose valuable information about how well your child is progressing in English Language Arts and Math. Opting-out may impact efforts by the District to equitably distribute resources and support student learning as well. Please contact the school if you have any questions.
