All 8th grade students will take the state-required PSAT (Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test) on Wednesday, April 12th. There will be a reading, a writing and two math portions on this test. The M-STEP (Michigan Student Test of Educational Progress) will begin in April as well. 8th graders will test in Social Studies on April 18th and 19th and Science on April 25th – 27th. 7th graders will test in ELA on April 18th – 21st and Math on April 25th – 28th. Student attendance on these days is incredibly important. Please make every effort to have your student at school on time on testing days.
