NWEA Testing Update
Thank you to everyone who has completed their NWEA math and reading test! If you have not yet completed both tests, please check your kmail and daily plan for a make-up testing session.
MSTEP Testing
Fourth graders will begin MSTEP testing the week of May 9 with most students testing on May 10 and 11. Fourth graders will be tested in ELA, math, and science.
The fourth grade teaching team will be out of the office on May 10 and 11 to help proctor the MSTEP. Class connect sessions will be limited this week due to testing.
Any time spent testing can be logged as attendance in the OLS! Math can go under math red, ELA under Literature 4 or MARK 12, and science under science.

DIBELS
DIBELS testing will most likely begin the week of May 16. For DIBELS you will read 3 passages, retell the passages, and complete a short fill-in-the-blank activity. The entire test will be administered 1-on-1 and should only take 15 minutes.
Sign-up sheets for DIBELS will be going out soon!

OLS Progress Reminder
Our last day of school is June 13! That means we only have 5 weeks of school left! Make sure you are logging in every day and completing 2% - 3% in each subject per week!
Due to testing, class connect sessions may be limited over the next few weeks. Less time in CC sessions means more time to work in the OLS!
Reminder: trying unmastered assessments again is a great way to increase progress.
