ILEARN Testing - 3rd, 4th, and 5th Grade
This week, we will begin ILEARN testing for students in grades 3-5. Please note the following reminders below, so that students are prepared, focused, and successful with testing.
Please make sure that students are at school, on time, each day to test. If students are late, they will not be allowed to go to the classroom once a testing session has started. Students will then have to test with another staff member and most students do better when testing with their teacher/class.
Please make sure that your child gets a good night’s sleep and that they eat a good breakfast! (breakfast will be provided at school as well)
Bring a fully charged Chromebook to school, each day, with a CHARGER!
