Assessments

In addition to the state and district assessments, Ute Meadows Elementary also utilizes classroom assessments to help determine next steps for instruction.

HMH Benchmark Reading Assessment-This assessment is from the state approved reading resource. The assessment determines the current level of reading according to reading accuracy and comprehension. This assessment is given at the beginning of the year.

The numeracy assessment is given three times a year. It assesses a student's knowledge of the number system and his/her computational fluency.

Assessments inform instruction and monitor student progress. Assessments should:

• Add value to the student learning experience.
• Engage families in supporting their students.
• Help identify strengths, interests and opportunities for growth for all students.

A collection of assessment results can be used to help set goals, identify priorities and inform equity of access to grade-level learning.

Individual schools determine which additional assessments will support their specific student population’s learning. Each school will select specific dates within the district-provided assessment windows.

Some assessments are required by federal or state law; see information regarding state assessment participation. Families can refuse participation in state assessments for their students. Contact your student's school if you have questions about test refusals.
