Maximizing Student Growth While Creating Positive Memories
End of Quarter 3
Testing Update
Round 2 of ISTEP+ will begin April 16th and run through May 4th. Teachers will include their classroom testing schedules in their newsletters when we return from Spring Break.
IREAD3 Testing for Third Graders
The purpose of the Indiana Reading Evaluation And Determination (IREAD-3) assessment is to measure foundational reading standards through grade three. Based on the Indiana Academic Standards, IREAD-3 is a summative assessment that was developed in accordance with House Enrolled Act 1367 (also known as Public Law 109 in 2010), which "requires the evaluation of reading skills for students who are in grade three beginning in the Spring of 2012 to ensure that all students can read proficiently before moving on to grade four."
Results are expected to be available by the end of April. Parents will receive results as soon as we have them available. Any student who does not pass will have the opportunity to take the assessment in June following a two week summer school session.
Fourth Graders to Perform
The classes of Mr. Doub, Mrs. Rodgers, and Mrs. Wilson will perform on Thursday, March 22.
Both programs will begin at 7:00pm. All doors will unlock at 6:30 for student/parent arrival. Students should report to their classrooms by 6:45pm. There are no specific dress requirements.
