State Assessment & Promotion

Students attending school digitally will be provided a time and location to complete state assessments in person. Schoolswill be in contact with remote learners to schedule testing times and location. The Florida Department of Education requiresthat all state assessments be completed in-person and on-campus in accordance with testing security and validity protocols.

The District expects the participation of all students in state assessments to ensure proper placement in courses and theprovision of appropriate support services. Taking the spring 2021 assessments will only benefit your child. Assessmentresults will be used to determine how students are performing according to the grade-level standards in specific subjectareas. Parents will receive score reports. Schools and teachers will use the results to identify if learning loss has occurredand to what extent students need additional support during the summer and into next school year. Results from state FSAand EOC assessments will not impact promotion status or course selection for the following school year.

An Emergency Order (EO-2021-01) was issued by the Florida Department of Education on February 15, 2021, that extendsthe spring testing window for each subject by two weeks. This extension allows for additional testing days and for moreflexibil ity in scheduling tests. The Emergency Order also established adjusted assessment data reporting timelines. Resultsfor the Grade 3 ELA FSA will be released no later than June 20, 2021, and all other assessment data will be released nolater than July 31, 2021. The Emergency Order does not address any other aspect of state standardized testing.

Promotion and retention decisions must be based solely on academic performance.

Parents/guardians of K-5 students may request that their child be retained at the current grade

level for the 2020-2021 school year. An academicreason is required for retention. In order to get an accurate assessment of a child’s academicperformance, promotion or retention decisions

should be a collaborative decision between the K-5 parent/guardian and the school principal.

Third Grade:

School Grades:

The results of End-of-Course (EOCs) assessments for courses with state EOCs (Civics, Algebra, Geometry, Biology, and U.S. History) will not count as 30%of the student final grade when there is not an EOC available. In all cases, the results will only be used to measure to what extent students learned the coursecontent and what supports are needed to ensure success in the next sequential course. While the Florida Department of Education has authorized districts towaive the FSA/EOC requirements for the class of 2021 only, on a case-by-case basis, at this time this requirement has not been waived for other cohorts ofstudents. Therefore, it is essential that students take the End-of Course (EOC) assessments. The Algebra and Geometry EOCs are currently the requiredmath graduation EOC depending on the graduating class. Currently, all students (excluding the Class of 2021 per the EO-02 wavier) need to sit for and passthe assessment for graduation. Class of 2021 students currently enrolled in a class requiring an EOC assessment must sit for the test to establish acomparable level of achievement. Schools will be contacting Class of 2021 students who are pending an EOC assessment.

For the 2020-2021 school year, school grades will not be calculated by the Florida Department of Education. In lieu of school grades, the FDOE will be postingall federally-required data on the Florida Know Your Schools website. A grade for a school will only be calculated by the Florida Department of Education if the

district or charter school requests for this to occur. In order for a school grade to be calculated, a school must meet the criteria set by the FDOE. Student-specific performance data will be provided to parents/guardians, as done each year.

Third grade students will be required to demonstrate at least a

Level 2 performance on the third grade Florida Standards Assessment

or demonstrate at least comparable Level 2 performance through a

good cause exemption or other reasonable evidence.

Students in the graduating class of 2021 may have the state test

requirements waived if they meet all other graduation requirements, including

all course credits and at least a 2.0 grade point average. The district can determine on a

case-by-case basis that the student’s high school record establishes

A los estudiantes que asistan a la escuela en forma digital se les proporcionará un horario y un lugar para completar las evaluacionesestatales en persona. Las escuelas estarán en contacto con los estudiantes remotos para programar los horarios y el lugar de laspruebas. El Departamento de Educación de Florida requiere que todas las evaluaciones estatales se completen en persona y en elrecinto escolar de acuerdo con los protocolos de seguridad y validez de las pruebas.

El Distrito espera la participación de todos los estudiantes en las evaluaciones estatales para asegurar una ubicación adecuada en loscursos y la provisión de los servicios de apoyo apropiados. Realizar las evaluaciones de primavera de 2021 solo beneficiará a su hijo.Los resultados de las evaluaciones se util izarán para determinar cómo se están desempeñando los estudiantes de acuerdo con losestándares de nivel de grado en áreas temáticas específicas. Los padres recibirán informes de calif icaciones. Las escuelas y losmaestros uti l izarán los resultados para identif icar si se ha producido una pérdida de aprendizaje y hasta qué punto los estudiantesnecesitan apoyo adicional durante el verano y el próximo año escolar. Los resultados de todas las evaluaciones estatales FSA y EOC noafectarán el estado de promoción ni la selección de cursos para el siguiente año escolar.

El 15 de febrero de 2021, el Departamento de Educación de Florida emitió una Orden de emergencia (EO-2021-01) que extiende elperíodo de prueba de primavera para cada materia por dos semanas. Esta extensión permite días de prueba adicionales y una mayorflexibil idad en la programación de pruebas. La Orden de Emergencia también estableció plazos ajustados para la presentación deinformes de datos de evaluación. Los resultados del ELA FSA de 3er grado se publicarán a más tardar el 20 de junio de 2021 y todos losdemás datos de evaluación se publicarán a más tardar el 31 de julio de 2021. La Orden de emergencia no aborda ningún otro aspecto delas pruebas estandarizadas estatales.

La Orden de emergencia (EO-2021-02) fue emitida por el Departamento de Educación de Florida el 9 de abril de 2021 e incluyóactualizaciones de los requisitos de graduación, exámenes de fin de curso, promoción / retención, requisitos de Bright Futures y más.Vea la Orden completa en: http://www.fldoe.org/core/fi leparse.php/19861/urlt/2021-EO-02.pdf

Las decisiones de promoción y retención debenbasarse únicamente en el rendimiento académico.

Los padres / tutores de los estudiantes de K-5pueden solicitar que su hijo se mantenga en el nivelde grado actual para el año escolar 2020-2021. Serequiere una razón académica para la retención.

Para obtener una evaluación precisa delrendimiento académico de un niño, las decisionesde promoción o retención deben ser una decisión

conjunta entre el padre / tutor de K-5 y el director dela escuela.

Tercer grado:

Calificación escolar:

Los resultados de las evaluaciones de fin de curso (EOC) para los cursos con EOC estatales (Educación Cívica, Álgebra, Geometría, Biología e Historia de losEE. UU.) no contarán como el 30% de la calificación final del estudiante cuando no haya un EOC disponible. En todos los casos, los resultados solo se utilizaránpara medir hasta qué punto los estudiantes aprendieron el contenido del curso y qué apoyos se necesitan para asegurar el éxito en el siguiente curso secuencial.Mientras que el Departamento de Educación de Florida ha autorizado a los distritos a renunciar a los requisitos de FSA / EOC para la clase de 2021 únicamente,caso por caso, en este momento este requisito no se ha eximido para otras cohortes de estudiantes. Por lo tanto, es esencial que los estudiantes tomen lasevaluaciones de fin de curso (EOC). Los EOC de Álgebra y Geometría son actualmente los EOC de matemáticas requeridos para la graduación dependiendo dela clase graduanda. Actualmente, todos los estudiantes (excluyendo la clase de 2021 según la exención EO-02) deben presentarse y aprobar la evaluación paragraduarse. Los estudiantes de la clase 2021 actualmente inscritos en una clase que requiere una evaluación EOC deben rendir la prueba para establecer unnivel de logro comparable. Las escuelas se comunicarán con los estudiantes de la clase de 2021 que están pendientes de una evaluación EOC.

Para el año escolar 2020-2021, el Departamento de Educación de Florida no calculará las calificaciones escolares. En lugar de las calificaciones de la escuela, elFDOE publicará todos los datos requeridos por el gobierno federal en el sitio web Florida Know Your Schools. El Departamento de Educación de Florida solo

calculará una calificación para una escuela si el distrito o la escuela autónoma lo solicita. Para que se calcule una calificación escolar, una escuela debe cumplircon los criterios establecidos por el FDOE. Los datos de rendimiento específicos del estudiante se proporcionarán a los padres / tutores, como se hace cada año.

Los estudiantes de tercer grado deberándemostrar al menos un desempeño de Nivel 2

en la Evaluación de los Estándares de laFlorida de tercer grado o demostrar al menos

un desempeño de Nivel 2 comparable a travésde una exención por causa

justificada u otra evidencia razonable.

Los estudiantes de la clase que se gradúaen 2021 pueden ser eximidos de los

requisitos de la prueba estatal si cumplencon todos los demás requisitos de

graduación, incluyendo todos los créditos decursos y al menos un promedio de 2.0. Eldistrito puede determinar en una base de

caso por caso que el registro de la escuelasuperior del estudiante establece un nivel

comparable de logro.
