2021 State Spring Illinois Assessment Information 

The United States Secretary of Education has decided not to grant waivers for the administration of spring 2021 assessments. The Illinois State Board of Education also believes that assessment is more important than ever as our students continue to learn in unprecedented conditions. Illinois schools are currently operating under Restore Illinois Phase 4, which allows in-person instruction while following public health requirements. The ACCESS for English Language Learners grades K-12 will be administered in person January, 2021. The Illinois Assessment of Readiness will be administered in person to grades 3-8 in the Spring of 2021Illinois Science Assessment will be administered to grades 5, 8, and 11. The testing window for the Illinois Assessment of Readiness and Illinois Science Assessment is currently set for March 1, 2021-April 30, 2021. Schools will be preparing assessment plans that will follow state guidelines to keep all students and staff safe. Schools must follow the Illinois Department of Public Health requirements when administering spring 2021 assessments. Those requirements during Restore Illinois Phase 4 are:

• Require use of appropriate personal protective equipment, including face coverings;
• Prohibit more than 50 individual from gathering in one space;
• Require social distancing be observed, as much as possible; 
• Require that schools conduct symptom screenings and temperature checks or require that individuals self-certify that they are free of symptoms before entering school buildings; and
• Require an increase in schoolwide cleaning and disinfection.

We will continue to update you regarding any change to the assessment guidelines. Building plans including schedules and transportation will be communicated in the near future.
