Vallivue School District No. 139 utilizes state and district-developed assessment tools to ensure that a full range of assessment data is available for parents and school personnel. These data are used in determining  placement, participation in extension and remediation programs, and communication of progress as measured against Idaho Core Standards and district curricula. Students are required to participate in State and local  assessments."

PARENT/SCHOOL RELATIONS

Factors that enrich the school/home relationship: 

1. That attendance be regular and punctual. 

2. That a student absent from school should not expect a valid excuse to absolve him from the responsibility of making up the work missed. 

3. That extra help in a subject, beyond what can be given during the class hour without robbing the group of the teacher's time, should be on the initiative of the student as well as the teacher. 

4. That parental concerns be first registered with the classroom teacher so as to provide the school an opportunity to make adjustments as resources will permit. 

Factors needing cooperation of parents and school: 

1. A demanding class schedule and participation in too many activities to the detriment of the class work are factors which demand constant attention. 

2. Both the school and the home should watch the progress of the student on regular grading reports. 

3. The parent and the school both want the student to learn to get along with others, assume his/her own responsibilities and develop self-discipline. It should be the common purpose of both parents and school to adjust any attending strain to the development of the student without weakening him/her by absolving him/her of the responsibility for his/her actions. 

4. If a boy or girl becomes significantly unhappy in school, the matter should be reported to the counselor by his/her parents.
