Grades 3-8 and 11 will be participating in state testing at HOA.

This will cover English Language Arts and Math in grades 3-8 and 11, and Science in grades 5, 8, and 11. Testing will take place at HOA during different times and locations depending on their grade level during the months of April and May. Your student’s teacher will be communicating the times and location your student will be testing and it will also be posted on our school website and Canvas advisory / homerooms.  

State testing helps educators identify strengths and weaknesses in academics and allows for improvements in the curriculum, as well as provides an opportunity for your student to demonstrate their knowledge.  

If you do not want your student to participate in state testing, please complete the opt-out form. Please contact HOA’s State Testing Coordinator Casy Burnsed with any questions or concerns. Email: burnsedc@hsd.k12.or.us
