Oregon House Bill 2655 permits parents to annually opt-out of Oregon’s statewide summative tests in English Language Arts and Math by submitting the “opt-out” form to the school the student attends. The school shall provide any student who is exempted from a state test with supervised study time while other students are testing. The opt-out form may be found using the link below or in the office of your child’s school.
If you have additional questions which are not answered here please contact the principal of your child’s school or Matt Yoshioka, Director of Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment, at 541-966-3260 or myoshioka@pendletonsd.org
