IOWA TESTS OF BASIC SKILLS
Iowa Tests of Basic Skills will be administered to students in grades 3-8 during testing periods on Feb. 25-March 8. 3rd, 5th & 6th grades will be tested during the week of Feb. 25. 4th, 7th & 8th grades will have testing during the week of March 4. During these testing days we encourage all students to be in school regularly, eat and sleep properly, and come to school ready to do their best. Parents are encouraged to not schedule medical/dental appointments for your children during the testing days. Students who are ill and miss school for a portion of the test will either be able to catch up when they return or complete the tests during a special testing session. Parent copies of all test results will be sent home with end-of-the-year report cards.
