Boulder Valley School District requires a written request to opt a student out of testing. Please submit your written request by completing this form for each student you wish to opt out of testing. Families are asked (though not required) to arrange an excused absence from school on testing days they have opted out of, and provide appropriate alternative activities of their own if their child will not be participating. If you have questions about these assessments, I encourage you to reach out to Dr. Cara Maronek or Ailey Ruger.
