i-READY ASSESSMENTS
Dear Parents and Guardians,
For grades K-6, the Novi Community School District administers the i-Ready Benchmark Assessment as our universal screener at the beginning of the year to help identify areas of strengths and areas for improvement for our students. I would ask that parents take time to watch the i-Ready Informational Video as many students will be taking the tests at home this year. We appreciate all of the support in this matter and look forward to our continuing partnership to help our children grow.
Sincerely,
Jeff Dinkelmann
Director of Student Growth and Accountability
