Please note, up to 5% of test scores may be held by West Virginia Department of Education to be hand scored.
The instructions for accessing the "Parent Portal", including your child's unique Parent Portal access code, have been sent to your child's school email. If you need assistance in accessing this email, please contact your child's teacher or school Principal.
