DIAGNOSTIC ASSESSMENTS
All middle school students will be required to complete two diagnostic assessments between September 14 and September 23, 2020. Each student will take a comprehensive assessment that includes ELA, Science and Social Studies and a Math assessment. The purpose of these assessments are to:
- Determine students’ learning gaps from the previous grade level
- Provide data to help teachers plan instruction that will address those gaps
Parents received an email from Milton Somers School on Tuesday, September 8th with more details regarding the diagnostic tests. However, the directions explain how student can access their assessement independently. If you have any questions, please contact Milton Somers' Learning Resource Teacher, Ms. Suzanne Johnson, at srjohnson@ccboe.com.
How do I access the Diagnostic Assessments independently?
How do I turn in assignments to my teacher? Answer: Through the Dropbox
