New Vision Charter School shall participate fully in State of Colorado mandated testing programs. While the state of Colorado provides the option to “opt out” of CMAS, every student enrolled at NVCS shall be encouraged to take these state summative tests. Any student wishing to “opt out” of state testing must meet with administration and sign the “opt out” form prior to their testing window. Any student who does not have a signed form, must participate in testing. During testing sessions, no alternative instruction will be offered to students who chose not to participate.
The NVCS Administration shall be responsible for scheduling, disseminating, and collecting tests and for reporting and interpreting all group test results.
All students shall be required to participate in school-initiated assessments. Assessment testing shall be initiated to:
1. Give students the opportunity to demonstrate their skill and knowledge.
2. Provide reliable information on student and school performance.
3. Allow achievement concerns to be addressed promptly so that instructional modifications can be initiated accordingly.
