Principal's Corner
Hello Meadow Park Families,
This week, on Thursday and Friday, we will have our MYP Evaluation Visit. We are looking forward to showcasing some of the great learning happening at the Park and hearing from our guests about ways we can continue to grow. Students can expect extra visitors in classrooms that day, but otherwise everything should be normal and learning should be uninterrupted. This is a great opportunity to have the hard work of our staff, students, and community honored and recognized and I will update you on what we hear in the coming weeks.
Our staff was busy updating grades this past Friday. Each family should be able to access these either online through ParentVue or via the mail later this week. As always, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to our staff.
One last reminder that next week (4/15) we begin state testing. We have developed an adjusted bell schedule that day with two hours of testing each morning and moved lunches up from where they would normally fall to ensure students can be done eating lunch by 1:10 or so at the latest. English Language Arts testing will begin Monday, April 15th and Math testing will begin on Monday, April 22nd. Our Wednesday schedules each week will have no testing and be our regular Wednesday early release schedule.
Make it a great week!
Jared Freeman
Principal

How do I find out my child's state testing Results?
Student Test Results in ParentVUE
State test scores will be available in ParentVUE! You will be able to see your child’s test results sooner than in prior years with less impact on the environment. For the English Language Arts and Math tests, a student’s score is available in ParentVUE two weeks after both parts of the test are completed. Due to the implementation of the new state science test this year, science scores will not be available until next fall after passing scores are identified by the Oregon Department of Education. The Testing Information tab in ParentVUE has links to additional information about your child’s scores. If you need assistance activating a ParentVUE account, please contact your child’s school. Learn more about ParentVUE. Please note: these scores are not currently available in the ParentVue phone app. Students whose parents/guardians do not have an active ParentVUE account will be mailed English Language Arts and Math test results over the summer, Students with at least one parent/guardian with ParentVUE access may request a printed report by contacting Kay Jenkins by email at kay_jenkins@beaverton.k12.or.us or by phone at 503.356.4594.
Resultado de los Exámenes de los Estudiantes en ParentVUE
Los puntajes de la evaluación estatal estarán disponibles en ParentVUE! Usted podrá ver el resultado de los exámenes de su hijo antes que en años anteriores y con menos impacto en el medio ambiente. Los resultados de las evaluaciones de inglés y matemáticas de los estudiantes, estarán disponibles en ParentVUE dos semanas después de que se completen ambas partes de la evaluación. Debido a la implementación de la nueva prueba estatal de ciencias, las calificaciones de ciencias estarán disponibles hasta el próximo otoño después de que el Departamento de Educación de Oregon haya identificado las calificaciones aprobatorias. La pestaña Testing Information en ParentVUE tiene enlaces con información adicional acerca de los resultados de su hijo. Si necesita ayuda para activar una cuenta de ParentVUE, por favor comuníquese a la escuela de su hijo. Aprenda más acerca de ParentVUE. Por favor tenga en cuenta que los resultados no están actualmente disponibles en la aplicación móvil ParentVue. Los padres o tutores de estudiantes que no tengan una cuenta activa de ParentVUE recibirán un informe impreso con los resultados de las evaluaciones. El reporte impreso con los resultados se enviará a casa con los estudiantes el último día de clases. Los reportes se enviarán por correo durante el verano para los estudiantes cuyos resultados lleguen después de que se hayan impreso los reportes en junio. Los estudiantes que tengan por lo menos un padre o tutor con acceso a ParentVUE pueden pedirle a Kay Jenkins un reporte impreso comunicándose a kay_jenkins@beaverton.k12.or.us o por teléfono al 503.356.4594.
