Fifth grade students will take the Illinois Science Assessment (ISA) on Thursday, April 4th. Click this link https://www.isbe.net/Pages/Search-Results.aspx?k=ISA for further information about this science assessment.
Illinois Assessment for Readiness (IAR) testing begins next week Monday and will continue through Friday, April 12th (makeup testing will be the week of April 15th) for students in third through fifth grades. Here is a checklist to help your child do his or her best on these tests:
1. Ensure that your child attends school on the days of testing;
2. Ensure that your child gets a good night’s sleep on the nights before testing;
3. Providing a healthy breakfast, snack, and lunch on the days of testing;
4. Remind your child to ask questions if he/she does not understand the test directions;
5. Let your child know that you have confidence in his/her ability to do his/her best;
6. Advise your child not to worry about the test – just do the best he/she can do.
Click this link https://www.isbe.net/Pages/IAR.aspx for additional information about the IAR assessments. Please see the IAR parent letter. If you have any further questions about IAR testing or need additional information concerning these state assessments, please call Mr. Dwyer at 630-894-9200.
