What Is Required
Oregon families notify the local Education Service District within 10 days after withdrawing or starting the school year. Learners are tested by an approved neutral tester at the end of grades 3, 5, 8, and 10, generally by August 15, subject to the 18-month newcomer grace period and disability-plan alternatives; scores are submitted when the ESD requests them. The companion includes notification, ESD receipt, testing calendar, approved-test/tester checklist, curriculum, and records.
Tier 3 State Companion: Editable, parent-reviewable 36-week Curriculum Summary Draft with student and grade/year details, parent and instructor fields, four nine-week review/report dates, and subject-by-subject scope, sequence, objectives, resources, methods, and progress evidence. It also adds ESD notice timing, grade 3/5/8/10 testing, newcomer grace period, disability alternatives, and retained results. Parent review and submission remain required.

What Is Not Required
The guide separates mandatory steps from optional best practices and will not add a filing simply because a planner template exists.
