Increasing our achievement @ Norwood
- BAS Testing-Baseline reading Assessment-This test allows us to see the reading progress of students. Each grade level has specific targets. BAS is given to all grade levels K-5 three times a year.
- MAP Testing-We conduct MAP testing three times a year at each grade level K-5. This is a nationally normed test that allows us to see progress of students over specific grade level material. This test allows teachers to generate student specific targets for each student. The information from this guides instruction and helps the teacher plan for individual needs of students.
- STAAR Testing-The state of Texas required STAAR testing is for grades 3-5. STAAR measures specific grade level content. 5th grade students are required to pass the STAAR test. During STAAR testing, the campus is closed to ALL visitors: April 10th and 11th and then May 14-16.
All students have set goals around their progress, please talk to your child about their goals!
