Statewide Testing Participation Guide

Your student’s participation in statewide assessments is important as it allows your school and district to ensure all students have access to a high-quality education. However, Minnesota Statutes, section 120B.31, subdivision 4a, student participation requires the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) to publish a form for parents/guardians to complete if they refuse to have their student participate in state-required standardized assessments. The Parent/Guardian Guide to Statewide Testing document provides some basic information to help parents/guardians make informed decisions that benefit their child and their school and community.

The form to meet this legislative requirement is available at the link below; it must be returned to your student's district. Your student’s district may require additional information.
