Data can then be used to plan needed instructional adjustments prior to summative and end-ofyear assessments. | Assessment results are not typically distributed outside the school due to their formative nature, but parents can access data through their child’s student portal in the platform. The use of scores for grades is a building-level decision. |\n| Civics Test\u003Cbr>Grades 11-12 | Aug 10, 2026 – May 27, 2027\u003Cbr>About 30 minutes total time | All students must pass the state-mandated Civics Test to earn a full diploma upon graduation. It is administered to all juniors in their US history classes as well as any seniors who have not yet met the requirement. | Results are maintained in Skyward to document participation and passing for graduation.

Lexile reading levels are made available through Skyward. Results are not used for grades. |\n| Fall Written Expression Screening\u003Cbr>Grades 1-8 | Aug 17 – Sept 14, 2026\u003Cbr>About 10 minutes total time | The purpose of the state-mandated written expression screening is to identify students who may need support in writing and, in some cases, monitoring progress throughout the school year. | Screening results are not typically distributed outside the school due to their formative nature, but parents can request the information from the school as needed. Results are not used for grades. |\n| Fall Dyslexia Screening\u003Cbr>Grades 1-8\u003Cbr>Grades 9-12 (select students) | Aug 17 – Sept 14, 2026\u003Cbr>About 15 minutes total time | The purpose of the state-mandated dyslexia screening is to identify students who may have characteristics of dyslexia and, in some cases, monitoring progress throughout the school year. | Screening results are made available through Skyward.
