Assessment Updates
ACCESS Testing: This will begin on Wednesday, January 23rd. Please reference the email that was send by Lindsey Good on the afternoon of 12/19 for a comprehensive schedule.
IAR (formerly PARCC): We hope to learn more about the new state assessment in the coming days/weeks. There seems to be some issues at the state level that need to be resolved before we can plan for it. We do know it will be taken electronically. Stay tuned! (this is for grades 3-5 only)
