Your student’s participation in Nevada's statewide assessments helps to ensure that all learners have access to a high-quality education. Statewide testing provides valuable information that helps improve instruction, allocate resources, and support student success.
For more information, take a look at:
- Nevada Department of Education's Office of Assessments landing page
- Nevada Department of Education's 25-26 Assessment Calendar
Testing sites will be secured by OpenEd; your family will be contacted to choose a date and a location from designated sites.
How To Find Assessment Info In-Platform
Note: We're still working on adding all of our assessment info into the platform, so you might not see everything right away.
After logging into the OpenEd platform, click on the Assessments menu option from the lefthand sidebar.
On that page, you'll see a tile of information for each assessment that your student needs to take to remain in compliance with the program. Click on a tile to see an expanded view of that info.
Each tile includes a short description, the dates of the assessment's testing windows, and details on whether your student already has a testing date scheduled.
Don't worry - we'll do all the heavy lifting
Our team will partner with you to find a testing date that works. After that's set, we'll add the dates into the platform for you.
After your student's assessment results are ready, we'll upload them on this same page. It's a one-stop shop for everything you need to know!
Opt-outs Made Easy
For some assessments (but not all), OpenEd parents have the option to opt their student out of testing.
In those cases, you can opt out directly through the platform. Just click on an assessment's info tile, then scroll to the bottom; you'll see a dropdown menu that lets you choose whether your student will participate.
As long as the testing window hasn't passed, you can change this response at any time.
