Opt-Out/Exemption Requests for Statewide Tests

Hillsboro School District hopes to administer state assessments to ALL eligible students. While it is the parent/guardians' right to request opt-out/exemption from state testing for their student(s), we encourage parents to allow their students to test. The information our district and schools obtain from state test results is used to help us improve our teaching.

Students do not "pass/fail" these tests. The tests simply indicate to us where and how we need to improve instruction so that ALL students succeed.

New Online Process:

We're excited to offer a new, convenient way to opt your student out of or request an exemption from state testing! You can now complete this process online through your ParentVUE account. 

• To access the online opt-out/exemption form:

  1. Log in to ParentVUE. 
  2. Select "Online Registration."
  3. Choose "State Assessment Opt-Out or Exemption."
  4. Follow the on-screen instructions.

• Important Notes about the Online Process:

  • ELPA exemption requests are not available through this online form. Contact your child's case manager for assistance with ELPA exemptions.
  • Only the tests your student is eligible for will be displayed for selection.
