School Test Coordinators should inform parents that they can opt their students out of state assessments through Online Registration in ParentVUE. Parents can access the opt-out form by logging into ParentVUE, selecting "Online Registration" and selecting the "State Assessment Opt-Out or Exemption" option.
Parents will only be displayed the tests that their students are eligible for. These opt-out or exemptions still must be completed annually. The English Language Proficiency Assessment (ELPA) Request for Exemption is not available in this online form; parents should contact their child's case manager for assistance with ELPA exemptions. Parents will be asked to review and verify their contact and demographic information before accessing the opt-out form. They can then select the tests they wish to opt-out of on a student-by-student basis. Once the forms are completed, parents will receive a confirmation, and the school will be notified.
Whenever possible, direct families and caregivers to use the online opt-out form for state assessments. This helps ensure accurate state reporting while reducing the burden on schools to manage paper forms.

The above form in additional languages are available under the Forms link on this ODE website.
School Test Coordinators should use this form to report all known or suspected testing improprieties. This report should be made within 24 hours of the incident. If you have questions, contact Jeremy Carter, District Test Coordinator. Please note that all potential testing improprieties or irregularities must be reported to the HSD District Test Coordinator using this form. ODE Test Security will not accept reports directly from schools.
Use this form to record ELPA domain exemptions per student IEPs or 504 plans. Please note: No 4-domain exemptions are allowed on the ELPA Summative. A new IEP meeting is needed for students who had domain exemptions in previous years who need to take the ELPA this year. Please collaborate with your school SpEd Case Manager.
Wait until you hear back from Jeremy Carter before assessing the student as an assurance that the exemptions have been entered into the ODE system.
Please remember that you must complete and submit a separate domain exemption form for all students in your building who require domain exemptions on the ELPA Screener. These exemptions DO NOT carry over from one year to the next nor from the ELPA Summative. Domain exemptions must be entered into TIDE by the District Test Coordinator in advance of students taking the ELPA Screener. Wait until you hear back from Jeremy Carter before assessing the student as an assurance that the exemptions have been entered into the ODE system.
A new addition to the OAM are individual student worksheets. These may be used to document supports and/or accommodations students will need for testing. This link will take you to a folder where we have prepared fillable PDF versions of the forms. Feel free to download copies to your drive and use them in your buildings to help facilitate the documentation and transfer of information regarding testing supports. If you have any questions, contact Jeremy Carter or Justine Green.
