For the 2025-2026 school year, all 3rd - 5th grade students are required to take the Smarter Balanced State test. This includes RSDFlex students.
Although students are encouraged to participate in state testing, families can opt their student(s) out of the ELA and Math tests if they choose, by completing the Smarter Balanced (ELA, Math) opt-out form linked below. If you choose to opt your student(s) out, please return the form to us by April 8, 2026 if possible, so we can plan appropriately. We also have these forms available at the Flex Center.
In addition, 5th grade students are required to take the state science test. This test has a separate exemption form.
Testing will take place at the Flex Center on the following dates. Parents are responsible for providing transportation to and from the school for testing.
