As the 2022-23 school year begins across the state, the Tennessee Department of Education has launched the “Know More, Learn More TN” campaign to encourage all Tennessee parents and families to log in to the redesigned TCAP Family Portal for on-demand access to their student’s TCAP assessment results.
This year, the Family Portal has been redesigned to improve user-friendliness, offer clarity of the printed state score report, and provide more actionable resources for families and includes several new features—personalized student video reports in five languages, sample questions, questions for parents to engage with their student’s teacher about their scores, and historical data to track student achievement over time.
Parents and families can watch this short video, reference this graphic, or follow these three simple steps to access the TCAP Family Portal:
Find their student’s “unique access code” or “USID” on the bottom right corner of the printed state score report.
Visit the Family Portal at KnowMoreLearnMoreTN.tnedu.gov.
Log in to find information on your student’s performance, a personalized video in your home language, questions to ask their teacher, and where they may need additional support. * To note: If a parent does not have a score report to reference, they should contact their school and ask for their student’s state ID number. They will add two zeroes in front of that seven-digit number to create an account.
The department developed a series of customizable communications tools and graphics that can be used across a variety of platforms at the beginning of the school year – from bulletin boards to social media channels to school websites and parent emails.
Initial components of our customizable communications toolkit include:
Clear one-pager of communications tips to share with your district and school teams
Graphic describing the three easy steps for families to access the Family Portal, which can be used as a flyer for bulletin boards or graphic for your websites, newsletters, and social media
The department will continue to update the Family Portal in the coming weeks. Later this summer, the department will add a Lexile measure to give parents more details about their student’s reading progress.
