Dear Parents/Guardians,

Assessments are the most effective way to demonstrate what students have learned. Through testing, we can identify students’ strengths and weaknesses, gaining insights into their academic achievement, abilities, and learning needs.

As we enter into a new era of teaching and learning we have decided the best way to assess the learning needs of students and maintain student safety is to establish a remote testing protocol. Working with our testing partner we will administer tests remotely in students’ homes. Your student is scheduled to take the CogAT test on April 5, 2021.

To administer the Test and ensure its integrity, Springfield Public School District 186 has selected Riverside Insights®, a leading provider of K-12 assessments. When administering remote assessments, Riverside Insights uses remote proctoring tools, and adheres to strict confidentiality and privacy obligations with respect to student data. The remote proctoring tools will monitor students while they are taking their online assessment. The tools will use the built-in webcam and microphone of your student’s computer to monitor and record the student’s progress while taking this assessment.

To be effective, remote testing requires that parents and students adhere to a strict code of conduct. Prior to student testing, we ask that you please read and acknowledge the following:

As your student’s adult supervisor, you are responsible for ensuring the following:

• A quiet and distraction-free testing environment for your student. Remove all textbooks, calculators, mobile
devices, and other educational materials.

• Tests are only to be taken by the assigned student.

• Students are not to receive assistance on tests from any individual or resource (textbook, internet site, cell
phone texting, etc.) while testing.

The test content provided to your student must be treated as secure and confidential.

• We ask that only the student have visual access to the assessment given.

• Photographs, photocopies, screen captures, verbal discussions, written comments, or other reproduction of
any portion of the assessment are NOT permitted – before, during, or after testing. These activities are
considered a breach of copyright and will be treated as such.

Students may be required to retake a test if there are concerns and/or indicators including, but not limited to:
• The student did not spend adequate time to perform the assigned task.
• The student did not follow recommended procedures.
• The student may have been assisted during the assessment in a manner that was not specifically permitted.
• The results may not have been the student’s own work.

The determination of whether a student needs to retake a test is at the sole discretion of the District administration.
