Tech Recs
We recommend utilizing your program funds to acquire a Windows device for virtual testing.
In the past, parents have had some difficulties using Chromebooks or Macs for virtual tests.
What To Expect From In-Person Assessments
OpenEd will work closely with our school partners and local testing providers to coordinate assessment opportunities as close to families as possible. Our goal is always to make the process clear, organized, and low-stress for both students and parents.
You'll receive regular communication from our team throughout the assessment process, including important dates, locations, scheduling details, and next steps.
Whenever possible, assessment locations and testing windows will be shared at least one month in advance so families have time to plan.
OpenEd will directly manage the assessment experience, and members of our team will be available on-site during testing to help support students, families, and proctors.
If questions come up at any point along the way, our team is always here to help!
How To Find Assessment Info In-Platform
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.
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!
Participation Expectations
OpenEd students in Nevada are encouraged to participate in Nevada's statewide assessments.
For some assessments (but not all), you can elect not to participate. In those cases, you can update your student's participation status directly through our 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.
Rescheduling Your Student's Testing Time
If you need to reschedule your test date, click on the link in the confirmation email you received after you signed up.
In that message, you should see a Reschedule button that'll let you shift your schedule around.
Can't find your confirmation email? No worries! You can use the initial sign-up link to choose a new time that works for you.
