Assessment & Accountability
Policy 2623 outlines the state statutes regarding student assessment (test) practices. Student participation in these tests is as follows:
All students shall participate in the state-required tests, unless excluded by an I.E.P., Section 504 plan, or as exclusion allowed under State statute 118.30;
The request of a parent or guardian to excuse their student from participating in any or all of the Wisconsin Student Assessment System (WSAS) tests be honored without question by the schools, if the student is in grade 4, 8, 9, 10, or 11;
If a parent or guardian of a student in grade 3, 5, 6, or 7 requests that the student be excused from participating in the WSAS, the schools will honor the request unless the student's teacher(s) can demonstrate that no alternate means of subject matter learning assessment affords adequate measurement of student progress.
The following information explains the state tests administered every year in the Germantown School District.
