Virginia Growth Assessment Parent Portal Information
Dear Parents, Guardian, & Caregivers,
The Virginia Assessment Parent Portal, located at https://va-results.pearsonaccessnext.com, is a new web-based portal where caregivers can gain access to student's test results for certain statewide assessments. Currently, this includes test results from the Fall 2021 Grades 3-8 Reading and Mathematics Growth Assessments that your child completed earlier in this school year.
You will be able to review your student’s Student Detail by Question (SDBQ) Report for each test completed this fall and, in most cases, you will be able to view a personalized video that accompanies the SDBQ Report for your child. Additional resources can be found on the Virginia Department of Education’s website (https://tinyurl.com/VAparentpage) to assist with your child's academic needs. The following documents can be used to help assist you in interpreting your student’s growth assessment results:

NOTIFICATION OF SCREENINGS SCHOOL HEALTH SERVICES DEPARTMENT
Parents/Guardians/Care Givers
Vision and Hearing screenings are mandated by Code of Virginia Law 22.1-273 for all new students and selected grades within the elementary and middle school levels. The school nurse or qualified community partner will conduct screenings and referrals will be sent home.
If you do not wish for your child to participate please provide a written notice to your child’s school nurse.
Richmond Public Schools will complete the following screenings:
Height and Weight screenings will be completed on students in grades K, 1, 3, 4, 7, and 8.
Vision and Hearing screenings will be completed on students in grades Pre-K, K, 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, and 11.
It is through this screening process that potential problems can be identified and addressed prior to any adverse effect on school performance. You will be notified of the screening process results only if the need for further evaluation is indicated.
In accordance with the Code of Virginia, Richmond Public Schools provides educational material on scoliosis to parents of students in grades 5 through 10. The Scoliosis Fact Sheet is included on the back of this document.
SCOLIOSIS FACT SHEET
OVERVIEW
Scoliosis is the abnormal curvature of the spine. While the normal spine has gentle natural curves that round the shoulders and make the lower back curve inward, scoliosis involves a deformity of the spinal column and rib cage. To varying degrees, the spine curves from side-to-side, and some of the spinal bones may rotate slightly, making the hips or shoulders appear uneven. This curving of the spine cannot be corrected by practicing good posture.
It occurs in healthy school-age children, showing signs usually during the ages of 10-14 when a growth spurt may occur. The majority of scoliosis cases are caused from an unknown source.
This condition may run in families and is seen more often in girls than boys. A large number of young people have minor curves that will not progress. Early screening and treatment may prevent scoliosis from progressing to a stage where it interferes with mobility or activities.
EARLY SCREENING
Scoliosis can go unnoticed in a child because it is rarely painful in the developmental years. Early detection is important to make sure the curve does not progress. If detected early, many cases if needed can be controlled by a brace and exercise program. If surgery is indicated, the best results are obtained if it is completed before the curve is severe.
Parents should watch for the following symptoms of scoliosis beginning when their child is about 8 years of age:
A tilted head that does not line up over the hips
Uneven shoulders or a protruding shoulder blade
Uneven waist
One hip that is higher than the other causing an uneven hem or shirt line
Leaning more to one side than another
The family doctor, pediatrician, or orthopedist should examine your child when any one of these signs is present.
TREATMENT
The type of treatment used depends on the cause and how severe the curve. Spinal curvature is measured by degree. Most curves remain small and need only to be watched by a doctor for any signs of progression.
If a curve does progress, your physician may use an orthopedic brace to prevent it from getting worse. Children who require treatment with orthopedic braces can continue to participate in the full range of physical and social activities.
If a scoliosis curve is severe when it is first seen, or if treatment with a brace does not control the curve, surgery may be necessary. In these cases surgery has been found to be highly effective and safe treatment.
