eCampus Academy Update
Watertown Unified School District | March 2026
As we move into the spring season, many of our students will soon participate in the FORWARD State Assessment or the ACT State Assessment. These assessments are an important opportunity for students to demonstrate the knowledge and skills they have developed throughout the year and to show the growth they have made as learners.
Your support plays an important role in helping students feel confident and prepared. We encourage families to sign up for a testing session as soon as possible, ensure your child is well rested, and make every effort for them to be present and ready on their scheduled testing day. A positive mindset and encouragement from home can make a big difference. We ask students to simply do their best and take pride in showing what they know and can do.
Thank you for the trust you place in our learning community each day. Your continued partnership helps create the conditions for student success, and we are grateful for the role you play in supporting learning and growth.
Together, we will continue to help every learner succeed.

Looking Ahead- Forward Testing- 3rd- 5th grade parents, be on the lookout for information coming soon for Forward Testing happening in April. This testing is for all 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students and is done in-person at the eCampus office. Students in 3rd and 5th grade are tested on Reading and Math. 4th graders are tested on Reading, Math, Science, and Social Studies.
Timberdoodle Learners- Just a reminder that learners March artifacts are due April 6th. If you would like to schedule a GoogleMeet with your learner(s) teacher, please be sure to notify them prior to spring break. Otherwise, feel free to edit the milestone documents and provide evidence of learning.
4K Learners- March is not a reporting month. If you would like to reassess your learner, you are more than welcome to do so. Please mark an “x” by the skillset that they were able to complete without any assistance. The last assessment window will be in May.
Spring Break- eCampus Academy follows the Watertown Unified School District academic calendar. Therefore, we will be off of school from March 30th through April 3rd with school restarting on April 6, 2026. During this time, Mrs. Retzlaff and Mrs. Hail will not be responding to emails or hosting any academic groups via GoogleMeet. However, if you would like to continue working during this time to get caught up on content or work ahead, you are welcome to do so.
