From the State of Minnesota:
Minnesota’s statewide assessments give teachers, school districts and state education leaders information in context that they can use to make decisions about education.
Assessment/Testing results are shared at:
- Data Review and Planning Meetings
- Parent-Teacher Conferences
- Student Lead Conferences
- School Board Meetings
- Family Nights
Parents are able to decline their students’ participation in the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments. To have your student not participate, please contact the school office (office@thejourneyschool.org).
TJS Mission is “To provide all students with the values, skills, and knowledge needed to embark on their life-long journey to success.”
