Dear Families,
As we move into the 2025–2026 school year, we want to share an important update about how you can access your child’s benchmark assessment results for grades 3–8.
In the coming days, families will be receiving access codes that will allow you to view your child’s benchmark results online within 24 hours of test completion. These benchmarks provide valuable information throughout the year on how your child is progressing in English Language Arts, Math, and Science, and they help guide instruction to better meet each student’s needs.
Benchmark windows for this school year are:
Benchmark 1: August 11 – October 10, 2025
Benchmark 2: January 5 – February 20, 2026
You will be able to access your child’s results by visiting the West Virginia Family Portal at: https://wv.portal.cambiumast.com/
As we approach these testing days—and every school day—your support makes a tremendous difference. Please help us prepare students for success with these reminders:
Get a good night’s sleep.
Drink plenty of water.
Eat a breakfast high in protein.
Arrive early or on time to school.
Have a positive attitude.
Thank you for your partnership and for supporting your child’s learning each day. Together, we can ensure that all students continue to grow and thrive. "We train. We try. We triumph" together.
Sincerely,
Dr. Donna Heston
Superintendent, Marion County Schools
