It could be as basic as: “I want to let you know we do not want our child, name, to take part in the name the standardized exam this year. Please arrange for him or her to have a productive educational experience during the testing period.”Some states or districts have specific forms.
How can I opt out my child? Send the principal a letter saying you don't want your child to take the test. For example: “Dear —, I have asked my child, name, not to take part in the name the exam this year.
There is no “opt out” provision. The expectation in state and federal law that all students must be assessed. The school is legally obligated to present the test to all students. If a student is not in attendance on the day of testing, the school must schedule a make-up session and present the test then.
Opting Out of Assessments Students may opt out of standardized assessments. The education commissioner must create and publish a form that parents can use to opt a student out of the state assessments. The form must identify the consequences, if any, of opting out, and ask the parent the reason for opting out.
