NC CHECK-INS
Dear Parents,
Asheville City Schools is participating in the “NC Check-ins” which are short, formative standards-based assessments that will be administered 3 times this year. This is our second “check-in” for the year. 5th grade will take the math and reading assessment, and 4th grade will take the math assessment only. These assessments will inform teachers about where each child is in relation to the North Carolina Standard Course of Study. Teachers can use the information to adjust instruction and support for students as they advance through the year.
Please plan to have your child to school on time for their assigned testing dates this fall:
5th Grade Math - Tuesday, March 20 (8:30 a.m.)
4th Grade Math - Wednesday, March 21 (8:30 a.m.)
5th Grade Reading - Thursday, March 22 (8:30 a.m.)
Please plan to have your child present and on time for these testing days.
