Fall Assessment Information
We are in the last week of fall assessments. These assessments help our teachers plan instruction that will meet your child where he/she is and move your child forward. Students in second grade will be taking Scantron Global Scholar next week. The initial testing sessions for reading and math will be set at 60 minutes. Students who do not finish in that time will be allowed additional opportunities to finish their tests. Not finishing in 60 minutes just means your child is being very diligent and may be getting harder questions that take more thought and time.
You can help by making sure your students are here and on time on their assigned testing day (and every other day, too). They will need earphones/earbuds for the math portion of the test, so make sure to send those. Students will use the computer labs to take these tests.
Testing Schedule:
K - 1st - ongoing assessments in their classrooms
2nd Grade: September 4 - 5
Thanks for your part in helping us gather this important data as we start the school year.
