Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s):
In spring 2024, your student took the West Virginia General Summative Assessment (WVGSA), which measures academic progress for students and schools in West Virginia. Students in Grades 3-8 took the English language arts (ELA) reading, ELA writing, and mathematics sections of the test, with students in Grades 5 and 8 also taking science.
You may access your student’s individual assessment results for the WVGSA on the Family Portal. An access code, along with information on how to log in to the Family Portal will be sent to your student’s K12 student email address. Please ask your child about this important email and access code in their K12 email.
The Family Portal will provide better access to student test results for parents/guardians. It will include detailed information about student performance in math, English language arts, and science, as well as access to Lexile and Quantile measures and the Lexile/Quantile Growth Plan.
To further assist parents/guardians in understanding your student’s performance on the WVGSA, in addition to the results provided in the Family Portal, the West Virginia Department of Education (WVDE) is providing an individual video score report for your student.
A unique access code for the Family Portal and a link to your student’s individual video score report will be sent to your student’s K12 student email address. Please work with your student to retrieve the Family Portal access code and the video score report link in the email.
Once you receive the email, log in to the Family Portal to see your student’s WVGSA results by clicking on the Family Portal link at https://wv.portal.cambiumast.com/families.html, enter the access code, your student’s date of birth, and his or her first name.
To access the video score report, click on the unique link provided in the email. Once you click on the link, you will be taken to a site where you will need to enter your student’s date of birth to view your student’s video report. In addition to the report, you will have access to resources to help your student.
After reviewing your student’s assessment results, we encourage you to talk with his or her teacher to discuss your student’s academic progress.
If you have any questions, please contact your student’s school.
Sincerely,
Dr. Donna Heston
Superintendent
Marion County Schools

The FBI Pittsburgh Division’s Community Outreach Program will host five Teen Academy programs this fall and will support the CJIS Teen Academy in Clarksburg.
Teen Academy is a one-day hands-on program for rising High School Juniors and Seniors (2024-2025 school year) who live within the FBI Pittsburgh Division’s area of responsibility in Western Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
The dates and locations for the 2024 Fall Program are below:
FBI Beckley, WV Teen Academy; October 8, 2024
FBI Charleston, WV Teen Academy; October 9, 2024
FBI CJIS (Clarksburg, WV) Teen Academy; October 15, 2024
FBI Pittsburgh, PA Teen Academy; October 17, 2024
FBI Wheeling, WV Teen Academy; October 29, 2024

The FBI’s Teen Academy program in Pittsburgh and West Virginia allows a diverse group of high school students the opportunity to develop leadership skills and to investigate the world of law enforcement. Active explorations of fitness and forensic science grow students’ minds and bodies while age-appropriate lessons on topics such as violence prevention, sextortion, and hoax threats teach them how to stay safe. FBI staff, including special agents, intelligence analysts, and professional staff, lead discussions and interactive sessions focused on the work we do, how we do it, and, most importantly, why we choose this work in service of all Americans.
Any student with an interest in leadership and service is welcome to apply for this free opportunity. An interest in a law enforcement career is not a pre-requisite.
FBI TEEN ACADEMY APPLICATIONS - FALL 2024
Application dates vary. See the site for more information.
Pittsburgh applications should be sent to: fatrovato@fbi.gov
Beckley, Charleston, Wheeling, and Martinsburg applications should be sent to: wnbarnhart@fbi.gov
