Testing Deadline Will Not Be Extended
I wanted to let you know that the Oregon Department of Education will not be extending the deadline to complete achievement testing this year. The last day to complete testing is August 15. While many home schoolers test their children annually at the end of the school year, the rules in Oregon require, at a minimum, that children test at the end of grades 3, 5, 8, and 10. Submission of these test results to your ESD is upon their request. Just hold on to your reports until they ask.
We’ve added several new in-person group testing opportunities since we last communicated. We will be testing in the following locations:
Toledo Sherwood Salem Bend Hermiston Warren
Newport Beaverton Sweet Home Prineville Pendleton Vancouver, WA
Lebanon Hillsboro McMinnville Klamath Falls Chehalis, WA
To sign up, go to our testing page (https://www.basicskills.net/testing/) and contact the coordinator directly either by phone or email.
