2020-2021 Remote Testing
-
Assessments are critical to helping students and teachers guide student learning. Although all assessments were suspended in Spring 2020 when schools initially closed, assessments will be required during the 2020-2021 school year during distance learning. Fortunately, students can take these assessments at home with their FUSD device.
Assessment results from a balanced assessment system provide the district, schools, teachers, students, and parents with information about student learning and help teachers plan next steps for instruction. A supportive home environment will make taking assessments even more beneficial for students.
