Culver Elementary February 2018
-----------------From the Desk of Mrs. Proskey--------------
The ISTEP+ Experience
As the year has flown by we are at that dreaded time again..... ISTEP+ Testing. Therefore, I would like to welcome you to practice a sample test with your child and family. You may choose to turn it into a game like "Are you smarter than a 3rd grader?" and have some family fun. Practicing the format and encouraging problem solving will help your child do their best.
Click HERE to begin.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Mrs. Proskey or Mrs. Coldiron @ 574-842-3389.
The practice doesn't give you the answers so feel free to take a picture of each response with your computer or smart phone and then check it HERE later. DON'T PEEK! If you are interested in finding out more, please visit the Indiana Department of Education website at https://www.doe.in.gov/assessment/istep-grades-3-8-10
