End of Year Testing
Year end testing begins the end of April and goes into May. Students will test in Language Arts, Math and Science. Please do your best to make sure your student is at school and on time, especially during the testing period. We are so excited to showcase the knowledge our students have learned this year!
If you would like to opt your student out of RISE testing please click here and follow the directions. Students who opt-out of state RISE testing will have an alternative, school-level year-end assessment.
Student Surveys
The second survey is one that the Utah State School Board has asked every student and staff member to take, this one is administered every other year and gives some valuable information. Each school's total survey results will be used to inform and develop appropriate strategies, procedures, and/or programs to enhance our school climate. Questions can be found here.
If you prefer to have your student to not take either survey, please reach out to Ms. Lundell by either calling school or emailing brittany.lundell@nebo.edu.
