Mountain View Weekly Update
January 5
Updates & FYIs
- On January 17 and 18, Mountain View staff will be administering both a Mathematics and ELA assessment to all students at Mountain View using the LinkIt! online testing platform. The district has been using LinkIt! since 2015; students have multiple years of experience with this platform. Each year, we administer three rounds in both ELA and Mathematics , with the data from each round being used in various ways, from providing information about student progress, to evaluating our programs. Students have traditionally taken the assessment in their regular Mathematics and ELA classes. To create a more formal testing atmosphere, we will have all the students remain in their homeroom to complete the Form B assessments, which is consistent with the administration of the New Jersey Student Learning Assessment in the spring. Note that a revised bell schedule will be in place, with all students taking the LinkIt! From 8:30 - 9:45, and the normal class schedule resuming thereafter.
- A reminder for 8th grade parents that the second payment for the Gettysburg/Hershey trip, in the amount of $157.50, is due on January 26. Please refer to Mrs. Toth's November 6 email for more information.
- The next meeting of the Mountain View Parent Council is January 12. In advance of the meeting, please feel free to reach out to your grade-level representatives with questions and feedback (compliments are also welcome!). A list of representatives and their email addresses was included in the November 17 Weekly Update.
