Accessing Your Child's State Testing Score Reports/FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

As part of its commitment to building a quality education system in the fast-changing world of technology, California is moving its California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP), California Science Test (CST), and the English Language Proficiency Assessments for California (ELPAC) Student Score Reports to an electronic format that will be delivered online. The electronic Student Score Reports have been enhanced, offering a more dynamic way to view your child's progress in their education.

What if I don’t have access to a desktop computer?

You can view your student’s score report through the parent portal on any device connected to the internet, such as a computer, tablet, or smartphone. Log in to the parent portal https://www.dnusd.org/parentportal on your device to view the report.  

We want to make sure that you can see your child’s Student Score Report, so computer stations are available at the District Office, where you can log on to view and print during school hours. Staff will be available to help you.

We understand that only some have access to a computer or are able to come to school during school hours to view the Student Score Report. If you are not able to view the report online, please notify us, and we will print a copy and send it home.

Is my child’s information secure if it’s online?

Yes, the Student Score Reports are secure because they can be accessed only through the parent portal, which requires a username and password to access.

Will I get scores faster?

Yes, you will be able to view your child’s score report online earlier than in the past. In the past, Student Score Reports had to be printed and mailed, which caused a delay. This year, you can view the report online as soon as it is available. 

Can I still get a paper copy?

Student Score Reports dating back three years will be available on the parent portal, so you can always go back and print them. If you need help acquiring a printed copy, don't hesitate to get in touch with your child's school or the DNUSD Curriculum Services Department at 707-464-0201

Is the electronic score report accessible to parents with disabilities?

Yes. All Student Score Reports are screen readable and provide adequate color contrast.

Will the report be available in my home language?

The electronic Student Score Reports are available in Spanish and English for families who've designated one of those languages as their preferred Correspondence Language.
