Spring Testing Letter
February 2024
Dear Parent/Guardian:
Milwaukee Public Schools will soon be starting the district spring testing period, which begins on March 12, 2024. As a public school system, we are required to uphold state and federal laws and test at least 95 percent of all students annually on a standardized exam to measure achievement in English language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies. Wisconsin law provides an opportunity, if necessary, for parents to opt students out of testing in grades 4, 8, 10, and 11. Requests for opt-outs must be submitted in writing to the school principal by the student’s parents. We do not offer this option at other grades except in certain circumstances, such as medical issues. We strongly encourage full participation so that we can monitor all students’ progress on state standards. All assessments listed below require in-person test administration. Students participating in the Milwaukee Virtual Program and Milwaukee Virtual Education Program are required to test in person. Attached are the assessments, descriptions, and testing windows of each spring assessment.
