The Oregon Department of Education requires all public school students in grades 3-8 to complete a Local Performance Requirement each school year. This requirement is incorporated into a Weekly Learning Log due in early spring.
Students in grades 3-8 must complete a few mathematics, scientific inquiry, and writing questions online or on paper, deliver a short speech, and then submit the Log.
Students in grades K-2 are not required to complete the Local Performance Requirement; their Log will be in the regular format.
For reference, here are last year’s instructions:
Log in to Study Island to complete select questions online or print off the questions and upload the completed assessment to the Log.
Students must deliver a short speech on a topic of their choice to an audience of their choice.
Complete and submit the "Local Performance Requirement Log" in your child's Homeroom in InfoCenter.
We’ll send an Announcement with the 2024-25 questions at least three weeks before the Log is due.
Local Performance Requirement FAQs
Will students be required to participate in the Local Performance Requirement?
Yes. The purpose of the Local Performance Requirement is to ensure that Oregon students are afforded opportunities to learn and receive feedback regarding their academic progress. OpenEd will collect the required documentation of these opportunities and feedback via a specially designated Weekly Learning Log due in the spring.
Please refer to the InfoCenter Calendar for specific dates.
How do I access the questions for the Local Performance Requirement?
You can either log into Study Island and access the questions there, or you can download a PDF of the questions directly from the Local Performance Requirement Log. The questions are the same in both places, so please use whichever method is best for you.
Do I still need to fill out my student's participation on the Local Performance Requirement Log?
Yes, please fill out your student's participation on the Local Performance Requirement Log just like you would on a regular Learning Log.
Is the speech required?
Yes, writing and presenting the speech to an audience of your student's choice is a required portion of the Local Performance Requirement.
However, uploading a recording of the speech to the Local Performance Requirement Log is not required. While your teacher would love to hear your student's work, sharing a recording is totally optional.
What topic should my student give their speech on?
That's completely up to them! Your student's speech can be on any topic and delivered to any audience (including your family).
If your student has already given a presentation this year, that works, too.
Can my student opt out of the Local Performance Requirement?
Unfortunately, an opt-out form is not available for this requirement. If your student is in grades 3-8, they will be required to complete the Local Performance Requirement.
