LCCS ASSESSMENT INFORMATION
Teachers will use assessment scores to support students’ needs, identify strengths and enhance learning for all students. Because the scores reflect high expectations for what students should know and be able to do, teachers can use them to plan instruction and enrichment for students in the coming year that prepare students for life beyond high school.
Check our LCCS Public Calendar for assessment dates.

Assessments are used at all levels to monitor student progress, address developmental gaps/concerns, and improve instruction. Parents are allowed to excuse their students from any state mandated assessment. If a student is excused from testing, they are still required to attend school on those testing days. (per Colorado Revised Statutes 22-7-1013(8)(a-c)). To excuse a student from a state mandated assessment, the Parent Assessment Opt-Out Form must be filled out and an appointment set up with Superintendent Rebecca Hall before testing begins.
