2009 STUDENT AIMS RESULTS The Paradise Valley School District has had to make some difficult decisions in the wake of the current severe budgetary deficiencies.  One result of these budgetary reductions will be the elimination of summer mailings of AIMS and Terra Nova test results for most students.  The only state test results that will be mailed home this summer will be Grade 10 Spring AIMS Math/Science and Grade 11 Spring AIMS Math non-proficient results. AIMS/TN test results for Grades 2 through 9 will be given to schools in July and student copies will be provided to children when they return to school in August.  If parents would like their student copy earlier, they will be available for parent pickup beginning June 22nd in the Assessment Department office located at the PVUSD District Office at 15002 N. 32nd St. Summer hours are Monday-Thursday, from 6:30am-5:00pm.  The Assessment Department phone number is 602-449-2016. Please call in advance so staff can locate individual copies. You will need photo identification verifying your relationship to the student.
