Notice for State Testing Opt-Out 2025-26

Thirty-Day Notice and Opt-Out Forms for 2025-26

At least 30 days prior to the administration of statewide summative assessments, a school district or public charter school must send to parents and adult students a notice about the statewide summative assessments. This statute also requires ODE to “establish a form to excuse a student from taking a statewide summative assessment.”

Based on the 2025-26 testing windows, districts and public charter schools must distribute the 30-Day Notice on or before the following dates:

•  for Grade 11
•  for grades 3-8

ODE has updated the combined 30-Day Notice and Opt-Out Forms in English, Spanish, and 12 additional languages for the 2025-26 academic year.

All forms are published as both fillable and non-fillable PDFs. A complete list of forms is available on ODE's Test Administration page within the “Forms” menu.
