iReady Winter Diagnostic Testing
The winter i-Ready Diagnostic testing window opens next week. This is the 2nd diagnostic testing for your child in math and reading this school year. The purpose of the winter diagnostic is to measure your child’s growth over the first semester and provide updated levels for the personalized learning pathway (MyPath) for Spring semester. This data is also used by our classroom teachers to measure program effectiveness and identify areas of strength and improvement.
What can I do to help?
To help prepare your child for the i-Ready Diagnostic, encourage them to:
Get a good night’s sleep and eat a full breakfast the day of the assessment.
Try their best on each question and try not to rush.
Try not to worry about questions to which they do not know the answers—remind them that it is expected that they will only get about half of the questions correct.
Be respectful of other students who take longer to finish.
Come to school next week prepared with a fully charged iPad, headphones, and something to write with.
What happens next?
The i-Ready Diagnostic will provide results that help us identify your child’s strengths and determine next steps for instruction. We look forward to sharing these results with you throughout the year and providing a learning experience that will engage your child while teaching important skills and concepts.
If you have any questions about i-Ready, please do not hesitate to contact your child’s teacher or the school administration. You can also learn more about i-Ready by visiting the following website:

As always, thank you for your continued support and for being a partner in your child’s learning! It is much appreciated.
