NSCAS State Test Results

Parents/Guardians,

You are receiving a copy of your son/daughter’s NSCAS state test results administered in Spring 2021 today. NSCAS stands for Nebraska Student-Centered Assessment System. The NSCAS state tests are intended to provide statewide comparability of Nebraska students who are in grades 3 through 8 and 11. It is a part of the mandated testing required by state and federal guidelines.

The results provide one snap-shot of your child’s performance on the NSCAS tests and are reported using a scale score that indicates your child’s achievement level. Students performing at the On Track and College and Career Ready Benchmark are considered proficient. Additionally, students scoring at these levels are meeting or exceeding expectations and are likely to be ready for success at the next grade level. It is important to note that comparing results to past results should be done cautiously because of the learning disruptions caused by the COVID-19 Pandemic.

As no single test score can tell the full story about a student, it is important to use a variety of measures to look at the progress your child has made. Your son/daughter’s teacher is a valuable source of information and uses daily observations along with classroom assessments to develop an instructional plan to promote your child’s growth. The Omaha Public Schools values your participation in your child’s educational experience. After reviewing your child’s NSCAS reports, please let us know if you have questions.

Padres/Tutores,

Está recibiendo una copia de los resultados de la prueba estatal NSCAS de su hijo / hija administrada en la primavera del 2021. NSCAS significa Sistema de Evaluación Enfocado en el Estudiante. Las pruebas estatales de NSCAS están destinadas a proporcionar comparabilidad en todo el estado de los estudiantes de Nebraska que están en los grados 3 a 8 y 11. Es parte de las pruebas obligatorias requeridas por las pautas estatales y federales.

Los resultados proporcionan una instantánea del desempeño de su hijo en las pruebas NSCAS y se informan utilizando una puntuación de escala que indica el nivel de logro de su hijo. Los estudiantes que se desempeñan en los niveles de “en camino” y “están listos para la universidad y profesión” se consideran competentes. Además, los estudiantes que califican en estos niveles están cumpliendo o superando las expectativas y es probable que estén listos para el éxito en el siguiente nivel de grado. Es importante tener en cuenta que la comparación de los resultados con los resultados anteriores se debe hacer con cautela debido a las interrupciones del aprendizaje causadas por la pandemia de COVID-19.

Como ningún puntaje único en la prueba puede contar la historia completa sobre un estudiante, es importante usar una variedad de medidas para observar el progreso que su hijo ha hecho. El maestro de su hijo / hija es una valiosa fuente de información y utiliza observaciones diarias junto con evaluaciones en el salón de clase para desarrollar un plan de instrucción para promover el crecimiento de su hijo. Las Escuelas Públicas de Omaha valoran su participación en la experiencia educativa de su hijo. Después de revisar los informes de NSCAS de su hijo, déjenos saber si tiene preguntas.

iPads

Please remind your students to have their iPads fully charged and ready for use when they arrive at school. The iPads are utilized for instruction and for independent work completion so it is very important that students have them fully charged each day.

If your child has lost their iPad charging cord and brick you can purchase another one from the school for $47.
