DSA Testing Calendar

Listed below are the testing dates for the 2022/2023 school year. Several dates on this testing calendar are dictated by CollegeBoard, the state, and the district, which means that DSA has limited or no flexibility with the testing windows. 

Parent Opt Out Form for 2022/2023 School Year
The Assessment Participation Exemption Request Form is available in the DPS Parent Portal. It is an online application parents can use to request to exempt their child from CMAS, NAEP, PSAT and SAT. Note that opt-outs are not allowed for ACCESS, TS Gold and READ Act assessments. Parents may use the portal to opt out from the start of the school year through the end of February.
