We took both the Reading and Math STAR Assessments this week. Your 3rd grader should have brought both reports home. These scores are great pieces of data to track growth throughout the school year.
First quarter AR goals were assigned. These goals are determined based on individual test results on the Star Assessment. AR counts as 10% of your child's quarterly reading grade. Nightly reading is essential for your child to grow as a reader this year. The first quarter AR cut date is October 14.
